Genencor launches new enzyme for cellulosic ethanol

摘要

Genencor announced a product advancement, Accellerase TRIO. This new product will enable biofuel producers to more cost-effectively manufacture celiulosic ethanol from a wide range of renewable nonfood feedstocks such as switchgrass, wheat straw, and corn stover as well as from municipal solid waste. Accellerase TRIO allows for a low enzyme dosage to produce ethanol, helping to improve the economics of celiulosic biofuel production. Genencor has improved the effectiveness of converting biomass into sugars, a critical step in the production of celiulosic ethanol.
