This invention describes a method to convert plant material into sugars. It involves taking woody plant matter, first removing the tough lignin component, then cooling and grinding it into fine particles, potentially using a freezing process. Finally, enzymes are used to break down the remaining material into sugars, all within a processing plant designed to be moved from place to place.
Why it matters: Since 2019, continuous improvements in enzyme efficiency and cost have made biochemical conversion more attractive. Furthermore, advancements in modular chemical engineering and automation could potentially reduce the complexity and cost of building such a mobile processing unit.
