In 2007, Genencor was the first company to launch a commercial-scale enzyme for cellulosic ethanol production, Accellerase ® 1000, and later the company introduced Accellerase ® 1500 and ...

Codexis Announces Next Generation CodeXyme® Cellulase Enzymes with Leading Performance Compared to prior generations, CodeXyme® 4 and CodeXyme® 4X significantly reduce the cost of cellulosic ...

It's not only termites that might help humans make cellulosic ethanol. Researchers at Cornell University have discovered some plant enzymes that could lead to more efficient and cheaper ethanol ...

Cellulose III was found to have a less sticky surface that makes it harder for native enzymes to get stuck non-productively on it, unlike untreated cellulose surfaces.

Blacksburg, Va. – Tomorrow's fuel-cell vehicles may be powered by enzymes that consume cellulose from woodchips or grass and exhale hydrogen. Researchers at Virginia Tech, Oak Ridge National ...

Using Novozymes’ enzymes, Shengquan will now be able to convert the cellulose into higher-value sugars that can be fermented to ethanol. Shengquan will market the ethanol as an industrial solvent.
