Metso to supply equipment for Inbicon's biomass refinery technology

Sep 9, 2011 - Danish bio-refineries developer Inbicon said it had awarded a deal to Finnish industrial machinery firm Metso Oyj (HEL:MEO1V) to supply equipment for biomass refinery technology for second-generation fuel ethanol.

Under the agreement, Metso and Inbicon will partner in designing and supplying full industrial scale biomass refinery equipment through integrating Metso's fibre processing technology and Inbicon's technology for bioethanol production.

Metso will install the equipment at refineries that process non-wood raw materials like wheat straw, corn stover, bagasse and oil palm fruit residues to produce ethanol, solid biofuel for energy production and animal feed.
