Resolute was recognized for a biorefining unit which
is developing new ways to efficiently produce and commercialize innovative bioproducts
derived from wood. The facility, commissioned
in May 2019, is based on the TMP-Bio technology developed by FPInnovations.
The process combines a mild chemical treatment and low-temperature mechanical
refining to transform hardwood into clean sugar and hydrolysis lignin
(H-lignin) streams.
