NOVELTY - An integrated plant comprises: (a) one or more lignocellulose processing units producing one or more sugar streams and one or more lignin streams; (b) one or more lignin-processing units; (c) one or more sugar processing units processing one or more of the sugar streams into a sugar product; (d) at least one transfer mechanism; and (e) at least one transfer mechanism transferring the lignin stream from one or more of the lignocellulose processing units to one or more of the lignin processing units over a distance of 5 km or less.    USE - The integrated plant is useful for processing lignin, cellulose and/or sugars.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An integrated plant comprises: (a) one or more lignocellulose processing units producing one or more sugar streams and one or more lignin streams; (b) one or more lignin-processing units processing one or more of the lignin streams into a lignin product; and (c) one or more sugar processing units processing one or more of the sugar streams into a sugar product; (d) at least one transfer mechanism transferring one or more of the sugar stream(s) to one or more of the sugar processing units over a distance of 5 km or less; and (e) at least one transfer mechanism transferring the lignin stream from one or more of the lignocellulose processing units to one or more of the lignin processing units over a distance of 5 km or less; or integrated plant comprises: (a) one or more lignocellulose processing units producing one or more sugar streams, each sugar stream including one or more sugars; (b) one or more sugar processing units processing one or more sugars from one or more of the sugar streams into a sugar product; and (c) at least one transfer mechanism transferring one or more of the sugar stream(s) to one or more of the sugar processing units over a distance of 5 km or less; or integrated plant comprises: (a) one or more lignocellulose processing units producing at least one lignin stream; (b) one or more lignin-processing units processing lignin from at least one lignin stream into a lignin product; and (c) at least one transfer mechanism transferring the lignin stream from one or more of the lignocellulose processing units to one or more of the lignin processing units over a distance of 5 km or less; or integrated plant comprises: (a) one or more lignin-processing units processing one or more lignin streams; (b) one or more sugar processing units processing one or more sugar streams into one or more sugar products; and (c) at least one transfer mechanism transferring one or more materials between one or more of the sugar processing units and one or more of the lignin processing units over a distance of 5 km or less in either direction.
