Good science means occasionally questioning paradigms. A group of Novozymes scientists recently analyzed comprehensive lab and plant data to put some assumptions about starch conversion in ethanol production to the test. You might be interested in what we learned. . . Question 1: Are typical fermentations complete at drop? In the lab, we measured the [...]

The hidden costs of onsite enzyme production
Looking at the table above clearly shows that a delivered enzyme solution is a much cheaper solution, both in regards to capital costs and enzymes costs, than any type of onsite enzyme production. The numbers are the result of production scenarios we have developed for an average size plant producing 55 million gallons of cellulosic ethanol per [...]
