Aurora Renewable Carbon
Enabling the transition to fossil-free chemistry

Aurora processes wood residues into sugars and bio-phenolics, creating new feedstocks and alternatives to fossil-based chemicals.
We aim to collaborate with fermentation partners to prepare our sugar fraction as a second generation feedstock for microbes.
Main focus
Developing fermentable second generation sugars from woody biomass
What makes your technology unique?
We produce depolymerized fractions of lignocellulosic biomass by refining fast pyrolysis oil, tuning the product specifications to the needs of our customers.
Main product(s)
Bio-phenolics and second generation sugars
