Edeniq’s Newest Partnership:Global Bio-chem Technologies
China Opportunity GBT is leading producer of chemicals from
sugars >30 million MT/yr of corn stover in Jilin
Province $5 billion opportunity Government supportive
GBT constructing a 50,000 MT/yr cellulosic sugars plant
Integration of Edeniq technology into GBT 50,000 MT/yr plant
Commercialize plants for captive GBT demand
Other biochemicals and biofuels through partners
