Vertimass a winner of National Corn Growers Association Competition

In California, the National Corn Growers Association named Vertimass LLC as one of six awardees of the “Consider Corn Challenge: New Uses for Field Corn as Feedstock for Making Sustainable Chemicals” Competition.  This prestigious recognition was announced at the Commodity Classic, “Grow Beyond 2018,” Conference in Anaheim, CA on February 28, 2018. Nine Sigma launched the competition in June 2017 with submissions evaluated by experts in the corn industry.

Last August, we reported that the Department of Energy’s Bioenergy Technology Office (BETO), which verified performance against negotiated milestones, provided progress on scale-up, and reviewed Vertimass’ estimated cost for their transformative catalytic technology.
