The biomass will be supplied by Guozhen under a long term fixed price agreement, and the enzymes needed for the conversion of the biomass will be supplied by Novozymes as earlier announced.
The two companies further expect to soon announce the creation of a second JV, to convert the lignin into steam and electricity.
