Organization Services Offered

We take a wide range of responsibly sourced biomass feedstocks and turn them into sustainable alternatives to fossil-based fuels and chemicals used in diverse applications, such as transportation, pharma, food & beverage and more. Our mission and business model are deeply rooted in circularity – we’re unlocking the potential of biomass to enable the creation of low-carbon biofuels and biochemicals, essential for everyday life.

GranBio’s technologies were specifically developed as an improvement to industrial sulfite pulping chemistry, widely used since the 1940s for both pulp and advanced ethanol production, to overcome its low sugar yield and maximize overall efficiency. At GranBio, our business model starts with the reviving of decommissioned P&P mills: from a business perspective, it allows for CAPEX and OPEX savings; from a community perspective, it helps boost rural economies; and from a nature perspective, it contributes to reducing forest waste and to nature regeneration: a perfect example of circularity in action.
