Genomatica has been producing BDO at pilot scale in 3,000 liter fermentations since the first half of 2010, and is moving to production at demonstration scale in 2011. Fermentation requires no organic solvent, and the water used is recycled. Greener reaction conditions: Kraton Performance Polymers, LLC, Houston, Texas.

The NARA project envisions developing a new, viable, aviation fuel industry using wood and wood waste in the Pacific Northwest, where forests cover almost half of the region. In July 2010, Gevo reported the successful production of isobutanol from fermentable sugars derived from cellulosic biomass. Earlier post.). Earlier post.).
