Starch ethanol has been an important source of alternative energy for more than 40 years, replacing more than 1 million barrels of crude oil a day and keeping global oil prices at least 15% lower. Its sustainability is well documented, and a recent study by Environment and Energy Systems at Lund University in Sweden found that biofuels produce 65 - 140% less greenhouse gas emissions than petroleum-based fuels.
As the world leader in bioinnovation, Novozymes produces enzymes that optimize the conversion of grains such as corn, barley, wheat, and other starch raw materials into ethanol. Unrivaled in their performance and ease of use, our enzymes enable higher yields, faster throughput, and lower processing costs. Our tailored solutions – including custom enzyme blends – match your specific needs for liquefaction, saccharification, fermentation enhancement, and viscosity reduction.
We are always looking ahead and working on exciting new applications to further advance sustainable biofuels. And since great products are not always enough, we offer the best customer solutions support and training programs in the industry.
