Chemrec is a Swedish company with technology to convert “black liquor,” a major by-product of pulp mills and the world’s largest form of concentrated biomass, into a significant energy source, yielding both electric power and motor fuel or chemicals. The shift to gasification of black liquor would substantially improve the profitability and cash flow of pulp mills while turning these mills into major exporters of motor fuels and renewable energy to the rest of the economy.

• Enables pulp and paper mills to become biorefineries, increasing cash flow and profitability
• Proprietary black liquor gasification technology opens new markets, producing sustainable, low-carbon chemicals and fuels
• Potential to globally provide motor fuels equivalent of over 45 billion liters/year of gasoline (12 billion gallons/year)
