Syntec Biofuel Ups Yield of Cellulosic Alcohols to 110 Gallons/Ton of Biomass

Posted on July 01, 2008

Syntec Biofuel Inc. has, over the past 30 days, consistently achieved more than 110 gallons of alcohols (ethanol, methanol, n-butanol and n-propanol) per ton (US) of biomass. In February, the company reported a yield of 105 gallons per ton of biomass. (Earlier post.) The company s target, announced in 2006, is approximately 113 gallons per ton.We believe the improved results demonstrate that our thermo-chemical catalysts offer a solid commercial route for the highly efficient and environmentally sound conversion of waste biomass into alcohols. It is important to note that the laboratory work...
