Abstract
In recent years, several industry front-runners have ramped up cellulosic ethanol production in commercial scale biorefineries. Novozymes’ Cellic® enzyme products are used in most of these plants. A diverse set of biomass feedstocks and fundamentally unique technologies in the marketplace have led Novozymes to deploy tailored enzyme cocktails, with biocatalysts designed to
meet specific customer needs. Building on success in the enzyme area, Novozymes has more recently launched Cellerity® – a yeast product specifically optimized to use sugars derived from biomass. Product robustness is critical in this industry, and both product lines have been developed to facilitate operation in relevant full-scale conditions. Novozymes is committed to continuing close collaboration with leaders in the biomass biorefining industry to further enable growth of the industry
