Easel Biotechnologies, UC Davis). The project also includes a proprietary process to convert waste biomass into carbon dioxide and hydrogen to feed the bioreactor, allowing butanol production from waste feedstocks. Finally, a device that combines features of an electrochemical cell and a microbial fermenter will be developed.
