The C 6 to C 8 aromatic hydrocarbons can be high-octane gasoline additives or feedstocks for the chemical and polymer industries. The C 2 to C 4 olefins can also be used directly for polymer synthesis or can be modified to form other products, including alkylated aromatics and longer linear alpha olefins. —Vispute et al.

Lignin is a complex chemical compound (a cross-linked amorphous phenolic polymer) and is the biomass component with highest energy content (9,000 - 11,000 Btu/lb compared to 7,300 - 7,500 for cellulose, Johnson 2002). It has been our goal all along to make our process as integrated and sustainable as possible. —Dr. Earlier post.)
