Globe” s largest cellulosic ethanol plant formally opened up in Iowa

Plantations International News DuPont has commemorated the position of its cellulosic biofuel home in Nevada, Iowa, US with a ceremony attended by the state's governor Terry Brandstad as well as various other dignitaries. With the ability to create 30 mgy of tidy fuel that supplies a 90 % decrease in greenhouse gas discharges compared to gasoline, this biorefinery is the globe's largest cellulosic ethanol plant. The raw material made use of to make the ethanol is corn stover-- the stalks, leaves and cobs left in an area after produce. The establishment will certainly show at industrial range that non-food feedstocks from [...]

DuPont and QCCP indication multi-year enzyme supply contract for cellulosic biofuel

Plantations International Information DuPont Industrial Biosciences (DuPont) and Quad County Corn Processors (QCCP) have authorized a multi-year agreement to supply the enzymes that allow QCCP's Cellerate procedure in the manufacturing of cellulosic biofuel from corn bit fiber. In 2014, QCCP produced the US' very first cellulosic ethanol gallons and also the world's initial gallons from corn bit fibre with a process developed by QCCP and also powered by DuPont enzyme innovation. QCCP currently produces 35 million gallons of grain ethanol each year, however with the cellulosic 'bolt-on' innovation, an optimum of 4 million gallons of sophisticated biofuel could be produced annually [...]

Oakland Biofuels looks to help farmers by producing cellulosic ethanol from bracken

Plantations International News Oakland Biofuels is looking to launch a new cellulosic ethanol production technology in Mid-Wales, UK, using bracken as a feedstock. The facility will be the first of its kind in Europe to use the new technology in conjunction with bracken. Jeremy Oakley, director of Oakland Biofuels, says the company has been looking for alternative uses for bracken already for some years, with the main focus being on renewable energy. ‘Bracken has been the scourge of most hill and upland farmers for many years and is rapidly becoming out of control as its growing area increases year on year [...]
