New product launched to produce fuel from agricultural waste
A new enzyme product is to be launched in the first quarter of this year that will allow a transport fuel to be produced from agricultural waste.Steen Riisgaard, chief executive of Danish biotech company Novozymes, said that the enzyme Cellic has already been trialed on a limited basis by US ethanol producer POET, Reuters reported.`It`s going to be ready in commercial quantities. You have to be able to do it at a big scale. We are building a facility at a new factory in Nebraska just for this purpose,` he told the site.The alternative transport fuels that could be produced thanks to the enzyme would reduce dependence on imported oil and would help to cut carbon emissions linked to burning fossils fuels.Mr Riisgaard revealed that he believes there will be a strong demand for the product in China as senior executives at oil firm said they would receive credit for increasing energy efficiency and making use of low-carbon fuels.Last month the company revealed that it had achieved a stronger-than-expected rise in fourth-quarter net profit and expects sales and earnings to increase this year.
