The market for kraft lignin is growing. Existing markets for lignin-based products are growing andseveral new applications are close to commercialization. To enable this growth and facilitate the newlignin-based products under development, it is important to understand the requirements in differentapplications and which lignin properties can be changed. It is thus important to use the type of ligninsuitable for the targeted end application.
Lignin´s properties are dependent on raw material and process for separation. Several parameterslike purity, oxygen content, and content of volatiles can be tuned. Different end- products have verydifferent demands on the feedstock for the process. One lignin quality is therefore not sufficient tounlock the vast potential that lignin has in the transition to a more sustainable society with morebiobased materials.
LignoCity offers knowledge, experience, and a flexible process for the production of tailormadelignin qualities. With the knowledge of the demand on the feedstock for different applications, we cansupport different stakeholders in the development of various lignin value chains.
