CHALLENGE BOUNDARIES

BIOFUELS

2nd Generation Cellulosic ethanol is a Fuel Ethanol made from Glucose, a 6-carbon sugar derived from the Cellulose in Biomass. It is chemically identical to Ethanol made from food crops like Corn and Sugar cane though it is more challenging to produce, since Cellulose is one of the toughest Carbohydrate.

Facing the primary challenge to meet the economic goals, Epygen scientists are deploying their vast knowledge on cellulose hydrolysis to produce fermentable sugar in an efficient way, both by engineering the Carbohydrase Enzyme itself and improving the conversion process many fold by Bio-process development…
