Breaking the cellulose and hemicellulose chain has for a long time been a very expensive process. Now with research and this new system it can be done in a rather simple and cost effective manner.

For long, the most expensive part of making cellulosic ethanol has been to be able to break this molecule chain, making it non-competitive with corn ethanol. With this new technology, cellulosic ethanol can compete with corn ethanol as cellulosic ethanol is more environmentally friendly alternative.

To learn more about the basics of cellulosic ethanol and starch ethanol, see the article linked below.

This is the latest and greatest innovation in the world of cellulosic ethanol production. It shows potential for significant cost savings and proving to be even more profitable than corn ethanol.
