Novozymes’ New Product Family Hydrolyzes Cellulosic Feedstock
“Novozymes’ latest products for second-generation ethanol production are much better than anything previously seen on the market,” says Cynthia Bryant, Global Marketing Manager, Biomass industry at Novozymes. “While this in itself is a giant leap forward for the biofuel industry, we must remember that it’s also only the first of many steps down a road to a truly commercially viable industry.” … “Novozymes is a true believer in the benefits of first-generation biofuels as well as a major contributor to the industry.

By developing and commercializing cellulosic ethanol we boost the biofuel industry’s ability to deliver all of the benefits of biofuels while helping to address many of the concerns that are currently being debated for first-generation bioethanol,” says Cynthia Bryant.
In fact, studies indicate that with cellulosic ethanol as a major contributor, 25% of the global consumption of gasoline can be replaced by 2030*. And this cannot be accomplished with first-generation ethanol alone. READ MORE
