Iogen is the leader in developing and manufacturing ethanol-from-cellulose, a clean, renewable transportation fuel.
According to a US Department of Energy life cycle analysis, ethanol-from-cellulose reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 99% compared to gasoline. This fuel is made from the fibrous portion of plants, a renewable resource. Using enzymes, the plant fibre is converted to sugars that are then fermented and distilled to make ethanol. Until recently, ethanol-from-cellulose was impractical and costly to manufacture. Because of Iogen's history of success as a developer and manufacturer of industrial enzymes, making ethanol fuel out of agricultural residues has become a reality. |
