Vietnam to invest $100 million in University of Central Florida cabolosic technology

In Vietnam, the Ministry of Science & Technology along with other local partners will invest $100 million in a carbolosic biomass treatment plant that will produce aviation biofuels and other bioproducts from waste. The technology was developed by the University of Central Florida and incorporates cellulose hydrolysis into low cost modules that allow flexibility in producing various bioproducts, jet fuel being only one of the options by combining cellulose to sugars with fermentation and oligomerization.
