Poet-DSM plans on-site enzyme manufacturing facility at cellulosic ethanol plant

摘要

The facility will be integrated into the Project Liberty technology package, replicable in future facilities. Project Liberty is a cellulosic ethanol plant that uses com cobs, leaves, husk and some stalk to produce renewable biofuel. For Project Liberty, the facility will directly pipe enzymes into the Liberty production process without requiring downstream processing, stabilisers and other chemicals required for enzyme transportation. New enzymes developed by DSM are also expected to improve effectiveness of the enzyme mix, further reducing costs for the process.
