As a part of this cooperation, Praj will add significant value to Sekab's CelluAPP technology, a proprietary process for pretreatment of wood residue followed by enzymatic hydrolysis and co-fermentation to produce ethanol. Praj has complementary strengths by way of its state-of-the-art R&D, optimizing and integrating technologies, scale-up engineering and experience of developing and deploying technologies at commercial scale.

The Praj-Sekab partnership will facilitate CO2 reduction by offering mobility solutions for the transportation industry (see Praj’s Bio-MobilityTM platform) in the form of advanced biofuels produced from softwood. Both companies will jointly pursue identified commercial opportunities to support projects catering to environmental protection and bioenergy. The market includes the Nordic countries, the USA, Canada and other boreal regions around the world where softwood residues are an unused resource.
