Demonstration-scale Biomass To Cellulose Ethanol
The company has built the world's first and only demonstration-scale facility to convert biomass to cellulose ethanol, using enzyme technology. The facility has been designed and engineered to process 40 tons per day of wheat straw, using enzymes made in an adjacent enzyme manufacturing facility.
In the long term, Iogen intends to commercialize its cellulose ethanol process by licensing its technology broadly through turnkey plant construction partnerships. License fees and the supply of enzymes to the licensees’ plants will generate income. If the firm is successful, the process will allow fuel alcohol to be made from abundant plant waste instead of food grade corn.
