Public Profile

Hyrax Energy is a private company dedicated to enabling a bio-based economy. The company's ionic liquids platform combines hydrolysis chemistry developed at University of Wisconsin Madison with a separations technology developed by the company that recycles the ionic liquid very efficiently. The process performs at high yields starting from forestry residues, corn stover or dedicated energy crops and produces a clean, concentrated fermentable sugar product that can be converted into innumerable chemicals or drop-in biofuels. Hyrax is the first company to emerge from the Department of Energy funded Great Lakes BioEnergy Research Center (GLBRC).
