DuPont-BP biofuels partnership developing biocatalysts to produce higher octane biobutanol isomers

摘要

DuPont and BP have announced that the partnership to develop and commercialise tiiobutanol is targeting advanced metabolic pathways for 1-bu-tanol as well as other higher octane biobutanoi isomers.The companies also announced that testing of these advanced biofuels demonstrates the use of biobutanoi can increase the blending of biofuels in gasoline beyond the current 10 per cent limit for ethanol without compromising performance.
