Special Report on Cellulosic Ethanol: in enzymatic hydrolysis, Raven Biofuels aims to produce ethanol, furfural with Gulf Opportunity Zone project

Enzymatic hydrolysis has beent he most popular route for cellulosic ethanol, in part because it is straightforward. An aggressive pre-treatment process with powerful chemicals that softens the cell walls, is followed by an enzyme-driven hydrolysis that comverts the softened cellulose into sugars. Conventional fermentation from sugar to ethanol typically follows.
One of the more atypical riffs [...]
