Butanol from forest waste: The Digest’s 2018 Multi-Slide Guide to advanced fermentation of AVAP sugars

The objective? To create an economically viable process for the production of butanol from the underutilized natural resources domestically available economically sustainable biofuel at or below DOE target selling price. And, suitable for roll-out in multiple regions containing agricultural residues and underutilized forest residuals. Not to mention, able to compete in the butanol market without subsidy.

The Department of Energy is supporting an ambitious project led by American Process to slash costs for butanol made from biomass, and American Process CEO Theodora Retsina gave this illuminating overview of the project’s promise and progress at the DOE Peer Review Meetings.
