Lignum

Lignum has been developing a sustainable lignin-first biorefinery. Lignin-based SSEIF® Biofiller can be a game changer as lightweight fillers in the present automotive industry and anode materials in sodium ion battery for future mobility. The feedstocks for Lignum's biorefinery can come from forest and agriculture residues which are carbon sinks. Contrary to conventional biorefineries in the form of pulp mills and bioethanol plants which have neglected the lignin, a gem of nature, Lignum's approach is different in that we are valuing and focusing on lignin as gifts from God for the future generations. We want to show the power and beauty of lignin-first biorefinery as 'First Come, First Served' concept. The combination of lignin and remaining cellulose in SSEIF® Biofiller allows us to harness various cellulose-based chemistry developed in paper and pulp industry. For zero-waste biorefinery, side streams of our biorefinery are being valorized to produce alternative proteins as food and feed for future generations. Lignum's biorefinery and business model will generate profits with 30,000 ton/yr scale commercial plant. Lignum has a vision of deploying our technology globally once we demonstrate in Korea first. Lignum has been developing SSEIF® Biofiller in automotive industry with global auto OEMs, electronics, cosmetics, agricultural mulch films and consumer products like 3D printing filaments. Lignum demonstrated the hard carbon anode materials from pine woods would allow us to manufacture anode materials from renewable resources from wood. We don’t need to cut trees any more to secure land for agriculture because we can get food from trees.
