Abstract

See full text

Methods of producing renewable materials, such as biofuels, may include separating lignocellulosic feedstock into various fractions, pretreating at least one of the fractions, and further treating the pretreated fraction(s) to produce a renewable material. More particularly, an outer-most stalk tissue, or rind, of the lignocellulosic feedstock having the least-accessible carbohydrates can be separated from the leaves and pith of the feedstock. Then the easily-accessible leaves, pith, and sugars can be processed together, while the rind can either be processed separately to produce a renewable material, or turned into other products. In certain embodiments, a cane tissue fractionation system is included at a front end of a sugar mill.
