The company\u2019s proprietary Plantrose\u2122 process challenges conventional sugar economics by cheaply converting cellulosic biomass \u2013 from wood waste to agricultural residue \u2013 into useful, cost-effective sugars. Renmatix\u2019s supercritical hydrolysis technology deconstructs non-food biomass an order of magnitude faster than other processes and enhances its cost advantage by using no significant consumables. Renmatix is privately held, with operations in Georgia (USA) currently capable of converting three dry tons of cellulosic biomass to Plantro\u2122 sugar per day, and a world-class technical center in Pennsylvania.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe seminar is free and will begin at 4:30 p.m.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Tom Kindler shares industry insights"}],"uid":"28159","created_gmt":"2016-03-21 11:20:30","changed_gmt":"2017-04-13 21:16:16","author":"Kelly Smith","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2016-03-29T17:30:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2016-03-29T18:30:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2016-03-29T18:30:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2016-03-29 21:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2016-03-29 22:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2016-03-29 22:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"372221","name":"Renewable Bioproducts Institute (RBI)"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"2342","name":"biofuels"},{"id":"3023","name":"biomass"},{"id":"3396","name":"cellulosic"},{"id":"2106","name":"Paper"},{"id":"168489","name":"sugars"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
