Ethanol from Biomass: The Five-Carbon Solution

Ethanol from Biomass: The Five-Carbon Solution

NREL

Research output: NLR › Brochure

Abstract

This document explains how NREL's fermentation research has produced a major breakthrough in the production of ethanol from biomass. Use of a metabolically engineered bacterium, which will allow cofermentation of both major components (xylose and glucose) of biomass, promises to greatly simplify the production process and reduce costs.
