TRANSCRIPT
The Mobinol Fuel Company, LLC (In cooperation with the Green Energy Farmers Cooperative
and MedsTrak, LLC)New technology has been developed to produce biomass
derived products:Lignoil CelluloseLignoil Chemicals
Lignoil FuelLignoil Glow & Fade cosmetics
Each product is derived from non-food renewable crops such as switchgrass and corn stover.
Each product fills a need for a natural material that can be used to replace petroleum products.
All are environmentally friendly. Each product enters a consumer sector with very large commercial need and investment return.
LIGNOIL CHEMICALSIn the Lignoil Process lignin is depolymerized to
produce small chemicals that can replace petroleum to form plastics
and other useful products.
Lignin is of increasing interest: Ragauskas, A.J., et al. Lignin valorization: improving lignin processing in the
biorefinery. Science, 2014; 344: 1246842-1 – 1246843-10.
Lignin from the Alkcell Process is not chemically modified and can be used as a safe material for
cosmetics.

LIGNOIL CELLULOSEThe Alkcell Process (patent protected) converts biomass such as switchgrass and corn stover to lignin and cellulose.
This pretreated cellulose can be transported economically due to
increased density compared with raw biomass.
This cellulose can be used to produce cellulosic fuel bioethanol without further
pretreatment.
LIGNOIL CELLULOSELignoil cellulose can also be used to produce
plastics and other chemicals derived from cellulose.The Alkcell Process can be done directly on the farm
(see Savarese publications below):Savarese, J. "Local biomass processing is practical for facilitating fermentation to bioethanol." J. Tech. Innov. Renew. Energy 2.3 (2013): 239-245.Savarese, John J.

LIGNOIL CHEMICALSIn the Lignoil Process lignin is depolymerized in plant oil
to produce small chemicals that can replace petroleum to form plastics
and other useful products.Lignin is of increasing interest: Ragauskas, A.J., et al. Lignin valorization: improving lignin processing in the
biorefinery. Science, 2014; 344: 1246842-1 – 1246843-10.
Lignin from the Alkcell Process is not chemically modified and can be used as a safe material for cosmetics.
Lignin from the pulp and paper industry can also be
depolymerized to form small molecules for the chemical industry but requires additional treatment.
LIGNOIL GLOW & LIGNOIL FADE
Pure lignin such as produced on farm by the Alkcell Process is an emulsifier with plant oils.
Lignoil Glow is a mixture of plant lignin and other plant oils plus a
natural mineral.
Lignin in Lignoil Glow has many health benefits reported in the scientific literature.
Lignin has hydrating, antioxidant, immunologic, sunscreen, and
antimicrobial properties.
Lignoil Fade is identical to Lignoil Glow but also contains hydrogen peroxide to enhance the fading of bruise marks and age spots.

MARKET VALUE OF LIGNOIL CELLULOSE, CHEMICALS, FUEL, AND COSMETICS
The World Economic Forum estimates that by 2020:• The market for biofuels, bio-based bulk chemicals &
plastics, and bioprocessing enzymes will be $95 billion.• Producing and transporting biomass to borefineries will
generate $12 billion.• Conversion of biomass to heat and power to be $65
billion.• The bioplastics industry will triple to 3450 kilotons.
Clean Edge investment analysis estimates that the bioethanol and biodiesel industries will grow by five times by 2020 to $112.8 million.
MARKET VALUE OF LIGNOIL CELLULOSE, CHEMICALS, FUEL, AND COSMETICS
LigniMATCH’s FUTURE USE OF LIGNIN IN VALUE ADDED PRODUCTS estimates that isolation of phenol from lignin will cost $800/tonne, comperable to today’s petroleum based phenol.
Strassberger, et al., The pros and cons of lignin valorisation in an integrated biorefinery, RSC Adv., 2014, 4, 25310- The market value of BTX (benzene, toluene, xylene) from petroleum in 2012 was nearly $100 billion. Replacing this with lignin derived BTX would eliminate petroleum.
The market valuation of lignin in cosmetics will be shown in a following section devoted to Lignoil Cosmetics.

Lignin has hydrating, antioxidant, immunologic, sunscreen, and antimicrobial properties.
Lignoil Fade has the same potential skin health properties as Lignoil Glow but also contains hydrogen peroxide to remove skin
discolorations such as age spots and bruise marks
Lignoil Glow contains lignin, plant oils, and a
sunblocking mineral. This all natural skin care
cosmetic can be used by all adult men and women
to support skin care health of the face and body.
Lignoil Fade has the same ingredients as
Lignoil Glow plus hydrogen peroxide. It can help remove discolored
areas of the skin such as those caused by bruises
and age spots.

Research on health benefits from lignin Comparative antioxidant and cytotoxic effects of lignins from different sourcesBioresource Technology Volume 99, Issue 14, September 2008, Pages 6683–6687These findings suggest new uses for lignins in cosmetic and topical medical formulations. This study aims to demonstrate the antioxidant activity and stability of several lignins from different sources. It assesses their suitability for new commercial applications, mainly in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, by discarding any possible cytotoxic properties. Lignin: a nature-inspired sun blocker for broad-spectrum sunscreensGreen Chem., 2015,17, 320-324 Adding 10 wt% lignin makes SPF 15 outperform SPF 50. It is also interesting to find that the sunscreen performance improves with UV-radiation time. This nature-inspired lignin system may provide a green alternative to replace some synthetic sunscreen actives.

Research on health benefits from lignin
Industrial Crops and ProductsVolume 27, Issue 2, March 2008, Pages 220–223The study of the eye and skin irritation demonstrated that all the lignins studied are not harmful to eye and skin. The high antioxidant capacity of the lignins studied together with their safety when applied on eyes and skin, open new perspectives in their potential use in cosmetic and topical formulations. Reduction of carcinogenesis by bio-based lignin derivativesBiomass and BioenergyVolume 23, Issue 2, August 2002, Pages 153–159This dual ability of lignin tested to decrease genotoxic activity of chemicals seems to be very promising for their application as natural antimutagenic and anticarcinogenic agents.
LIGNOIL COSMETICS
LIGNOIL COSMETICSLognoil Glow is used to support and keep skin healthy. There
are numerous reports of the potential
health benefits of lignin that is the
major ingredient. The remaining
ingredients are all natural. It can be used by all adults, women and men to maintain healthy
face and body skin. It is environmentally friendly and helps
reduce climate change.
Lignoil Fade is used to support the body’s
healing process to remove
discolorations. The bruise marks here are from a sports
injury. With one week of Lignoil Fade application, the majority of the
discoloration is gone. Age spots and liver
spots can be targeted also.

July 1, 2015 U.S. Skin Care Market to Reach Nearly $11 Billion in 2018 As expected, skin care is not slowing down. The global skin care industry is estimated to reach $121 billion in 2016. And by 2018, the U.S. skin care market will reach $10,717.4 million.Skin care awareness and consciousness are some of the driving forces behind the booming industry, says Kathleen Zacrep, MarketRe-search.com. Although older consumers are still key to marketing efforts, younger consumers are becoming more aware of the value in taking care of their skin. Demand for Naturals & Organics: There is a rising demand driven by natural and organic products with no unnecessary chemicals, parabens, additives or fillers. This segment accounts for more than one-third of the $9.6 billion natural and organic personal care industry, saysNutrition Business Journal, and is growing even faster than the overall skin care market.
