TetraVitae Bioscience has completed a successful demonstration of its process to produce renewable n-butanol in a corn dry-mill pilot plant. Dehydrating n-butanol can produce 1-Butene derivatives, which can then be relatively easily processed to hydrocarbon fuels: via alkylation to gasoline, or via oligomerization to jet fuel and diesel.
