NREL enzyme enables conversion of biomass to sugar up to 14x faster than current alternatives; changing the economics of conversion

Green Car Congress

Scientists at the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have developed an enzyme that can enable the conversion of biomass to sugars up to 14 times faster and more cheaply than competing catalysts in enzyme cocktails today. CelA converted to double that extent.
