摘要

An integrated plant comprising: (a) one or more lignocellulose processing units producing one or more sugar streams and one or more lignin streams; (b) one or more lignin-processing units processing one or more of said lignin streams into a lignin product; and (c) one or more sugar processing units processing one or more of said sugar streams into a sugar product; (d) at least one transfer mechanism transferring one or more of said sugar stream(s) to one or more of said sugar processing units over a distance of 5 km or less; and (e) at least one transfer mechanism transferring said lignin stream from one or more of said lignocellulose processing units to one or more of said lignin processing units over a distance of 5 km or less.
