BUILDING BLOCKS FOR THE FUTURE

Total Valorization of Miscanthus

About us

Miscancell specializes in the total valorization of miscanthus, we get the most out of the crop. Our focus is on providing high-quality biobased raw materials such as cellulose and lignin.

We have developed a unique process to produce these valuable substances with as few chemicals as possible (fully regenerated in the process/closed loop), energy consumption and mass loss.

Possibilities of miscanthus

It has now been proven that cellulose and lignin extracted from miscanthus provide a significant sustainability improvement and are very valuable raw materials for the paper industry , and road construction/asphalt. But there is much more that can be done with the raw materials we refine from miscanthus in our process.

We are working with partners in the supply chain to replace various petrochemical products with products based on lignin, hemicellulose, high-quality phenols, and other plant-derived substances (including organic vanillin).

How can we assist you?

Whether it is the application of sustainably-sourced cellulose or lignin in an existing production process or growing miscanthus as a raw material of the future, our specialists provide bespoke solutions.

Miscancell is a project partner of Circular Reno and actively participates in the development project

Project description:

Limiting carbon intensive raw material use in the construction sector is a key priority all through North-West Europe and should not only be dealt with in new built but also for the growing deep energy retrofit market of homes using place based circular solutions. Circular Reno implements 4 scalable biobased deep energy retrofit packages of a facade and roof system for collective & individual housing using different kinds of bio-based materials: straw, wood, bio polymer, miscanthus.

Specific efforts will be made to improve building regulation policies at regional, national & EU levels, to assess carbon storage economic valuation to boost project economics & to develop a forecast tool for regional construction material mix supporting policy makers. Our project will be implemented by 4 types of partners from 5 NWE countries (BE, DE, FR, IR, & NL): 4 market development teams, 4 social housing organisation, 4 industrial SME and 4 facilitators with expertise that will reinforce the consortium.
