ORNL Gene Discovery Can Lead to More Cost-Competitive Cellulosic Ethanol; Process Demonstrates Approach for Accelerated Industrial Strain Development

Green Car Congress

One way is to remove the inhibitors, but this method is very expensive and would not help biofuels become cost-competitive with gasoline. Brown says this method of processing biomass for ethanol has the potential to become a “tool kit”—a combination of mutant genes that reduce the impact of specific inhibitors. Steven Brown.
