Fuel ethanol production is booming

 

Today's fuel ethanol industry provides an environmentally friendly renewable energy source and is based on first generation starch and sugar conversion. Fuel ethanol burns cleaner than gasoline and produces fewer harmful exhaust emissions.

 


 

Better lives on a green earth

 

The demand for fuel ethanol today is higher than ever. To support the growth of this environmentally friendly industry, Novozymes is continuously working on new enzyme technologies - both for first and second generation fuel ethanol production.

 

Novozymes already produces a wide-range of enzymes for first generation fuel ethanol processes. If you are interested in buying our fuel ethanol enzymes you can apply for access to the Novozymes Customer Center.
