The new product will enable biofuel producers to more cost-effectively manufacture cellulosic ethanol from a wide range of renewable nonfood feedstocks such as switchgrass, wheat straw and corn stover as well as from municipal solid waste.
Accellerase TRIO allows for a low enzyme dosage to produce ethanol, helping to improve the economics of cellulosic biofuel production, the company said.
Genencor CEO Tjerk de Ruiter said Accellerase TRIO can accelerate the commercial production of cellulosic biofuels in markets across the world, helping many countries and companies find a more sustainable alternative to petroleum.
Genencor, a division of Danisco, is engaged in the industrial biotechnology sector.
