into renewable diesel in a US Department of Energy (DOE) funded biorefinery project. The pilot-scale project use both free (soluble) sugars and biomass (cellulosic) sugars from Ceres’ sweet sorghum hybrids grown in Alabama, Florida, Hawaii, Louisiana and Tennessee. Amyris modifies farnesene to become renewable diesel.

The Coskata process combines the flexibility of gasification with the efficiency of biological conversion of syngas into fuels or chemicals. The facility has accumulated more than 15,000 run hours of operation and successfully converted wood biomass and municipal solid waste into fuel-grade ethanol.

Data collected with colleagues at the University of Alabama have shown 70-90% conversion of feedstock to SCFAs (short chain fatty acids). These compounds are more hydrophobic than ethanol and result in the transformation of ethanol or other alcohols into a much more infrastructure-compatible renewable fuel.
