Blue Biofuels produces ethanol in high yield from multiple feedstocks in its upscaled CTS process
Blue Biofuels Inc. has achieved a major milestone by producing high-yield cellulosic ethanol from king grass, sugar cane bagasse, and corn stover using its proprietary cellulose-to-sugar (CTS) technology. This confirms the process’s ability to generate fermentable sugars without harmful byproducts. The company is now preparing for commercial-scale production and further development.
Blue Biofuels Inc. is pleased to announce another significant advancement of its proprietary cellulose-to-sugar (CTS) technology. The company has successfully produced cellulosic ethanol in high yields from multiple biomass feedstocks, showing the flexibility of its patented process.
This achievement is the result of processing biomass from king grass, sugar cane bagasse, and corn stover on the company’s upscaled CTS pilot line. The sugars produced from our CTS process were successfully fermented into ethanol in high yield. This is a strong confirmation that the CTS process produces fermentable sugars with no harmful byproducts which could have inhibited the fermentation of CTS sugars to ethanol.
“We are very excited to have reached this important milestone,” said Ben Slager CEO of Blue Biofuels Inc. “Our successful production of cellulosic ethanol from multiple feedstocks not only validates our technology but also underscores its potential to strongly reinforce the biofuels industry. This is a key step towards our goal of commercial-scale production, where we can provide a sustainable and economically viable alternative to traditional fossil fuels.”
As Blue Biofuels is in the process of finalizing the scaling of its CTS technology to production size, the company remains focused on optimizing production processes and preparing for commercial deployment. This milestone sets the stage for further development and partnerships aimed at bringing this groundbreaking technology to market.
