Good news arrives from Minnesota that Syngenta has partnered with Green Plains to expand its use of Enogen corn enzyme technology across GPRE’s 1.5 billion gallon production platform. The Enogen backstory Enogen corn enzyme technology is an in-seed innovation available exclusively from Syngenta and features the first biotech corn output trait designed specifically to enhance […]
To date, QCCP has produced more than 5 million gallons of cellulosic ethanol via the Cellerate process, which represents 90 percent of total U.S. cellulosic ethanol production (D3 RINs) in the last three years. Not long ago, Quad County Corn Processors (QCCP) Head Engineer Travis Brotherson reported a 26 percent increase in ethanol production after a recently-completed […]
In Sweden, Taurus Energy advises that Syngenta and Quad County Corn Processors are planning XyloFerm trials for their Cellerate system, a process that allows for production of cellulosic ethanol from corn kernel fiber, marketed in a collaboration between Syngenta, with US Seed headquarters in Minnesota, and Quad County Corn Processors (QCCP), Galva Iowa. Production gains […]
In Iowa, Quad County Corn Processors (QCCP) Head Engineer Travis Brotherson reported a 26 percent increase in ethanol production after a recently-completed trial. The trial consisted of a combination of Cellerate process technology and Enogen corn. Brotherson said this dramatic increase was achieved by realizing an additional 6 percent yield per bushel from converting kernel […]
Seen a number of high-profile cellulosic projects open in recent years, and not much ethanol being produced? Wondered why? Here are answers to your questions. As Jack Webb used to say on Dragnet, just the facts, ma’am. Fact one. There’s not much ethanol being produced at the new generation of cellulosic projects. Fact two. We have […]
In Minnesota, Syngenta has announced that Quad County Corn Processors (QCCP) has produced its one millionth gallon of cellulosic ethanol using Cellerate process technology at its Galva, Iowa, ethanol production facility. This milestone puts QCCP on track to produce 2 million gallons of cellulosic ethanol per year. Cellerate can help ethanol plants increase production by […]
In Texas, the Renewable Fuels Association (RFA) presented Delayne Johnson and his Cellerate team at Quad County Corn Processors (QCCP) with the RFA 2015 Industry Award at the 20th Annual National Ethanol Conference. The Industry Award is bestowed annually to individuals or groups that demonstrate great dedication and innovation within the industry. Cellerate process technology […]
In Washington, Quad County Corn Processors and Syngenta have joined the Advanced Ethanol Council. The two companies are currently engaged in a joint venture to develop, license and deploy Cellerate — a “bolt on” cellulosic ethanol process technology easily integrated into existing corn ethanol production processes. The integration of this technology into QCCP’s 35 million […]
In Minnesota, Quad County Corn Processors has achieved EPA certification to generate D3 Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs) for cellulosic ethanol produced with Cellerate™ process technology. Formerly known as Adding Cellulosic Ethanol, Cellerate is a collaboration between Syngenta and Cellulosic Ethanol Technologies, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Quad County Corn Processors. QCCP earned D3 pathway […]
In Iowa, Syngenta announced the name for a revolutionary cellulosic ethanol process technology: Cellerate. Enhanced by Enogen corn enzyme technology, Cellerate is a collaboration between Syngenta and Cellulosic Ethanol Technologies (a subsidiary of Quad County Corn Processors). Cellerate is designed to increase an ethanol plant’s production by allowing the corn kernel fiber to be converted […]
