Attis Industries, a technology holding company, has executed a letter of intent with Jordan Forest Products, LLC for Jordan to provide raw material feedstock and procurement services for a biorefinery in Barnesville, Georgia, recently announced by Attis. Jordan operates a sawmill in Barnesville, and is a division of Jordan Lumber & Supply Inc., which operates multiple sawmill lines at its home base in Mt. Gilead, North Carolina.
The new Attis Barnesville facility will be built on an adjacent property to Jordan’s sawmill in Barnesville, and allow Attis to leverage Jordan’s existing procurement relationships and infrastructure to reduce operating costs.
The biomass sourced by Jordan will be processed and converted by Attis’ biomass processing technologies into a portfolio of biobased products, including specialty pulp fibers, cellulosic fuel, lignin-based polymers, and specialty chemicals.
Attis said its facility will be designed to process and convert 200 dry tons per day of biomass.
The company plans to build more than 50 biorefineries across the U.S. over the next 10 years.
