Cellulosic Ethanol
Production of ethanol from cellulosic biomass via pretreatment, enzymatic hydrolysis, and fermentation.
LUX TAKE:
Regulatory support is already present for cellulosic ethanol in large economies like the U.S., EU, and India. Despite the many technological setbacks faced by the first wave of cellulosic ethanol projects worldwide, clients should continue to closely monitor the space, as a new generation of players claiming to have improved technology are due to launch projects in the next five years.
