Genencor is a world leader in cellulosic ethanol enzyme technology. We were the first to market with a large-scale enzyme for biomass-to-ethanol conversion, with the introduction of Accellerase in 2007.
Since then, Genencor has continued to push technological boundaries and deliver new products to the evolving cellulosic ethanol market.
Our dual strategy includes our commercial enzyme business and a joint venture with DuPont – DuPont Danisco Cellulosic Ethanol LLC, which will open its demo plant in Tennessee at the end of 2009.
In February 2009, Genencor launched Accellerase 1500 enzyme complex, for improved economics and higher yields.
Genencor added three products to its Accellerase enzyme line for smaller scale process developers: Accellerase XY, XC and BG.
Through our high-performance, feedstock flexible technologies we are fast-tracking cellulosic ethanol to commercialization.
Our open innovation approach achieves breakthrough results by working closely with our collaborators.
