Virdia is a leading developer of cellulosic sugars and lignin for use in the renewable chemicals, bio-energy and nutrition industries. The company's CASE proprietary process converts a wide range of cellulosic feedstock, including wood, energy crops and agricultural residues into highly refined sugars and lignin. This low-temperature process delivers the highest yields of sugars from biomass, and has a very light environmental footprint due to the near complete recycling of acids and solvents used in manufacturing. The company is led by a seasoned management team with decades of experience in corn processing, chemicals and biochemicals industries.
