The license agreement moves this technology for renewable energy production a step closer to commercial reality. With this gasification process, we can convert the biomass to a clean fuel that is almost completely carbon-neutral. Non-crop land can be used, so the process doesn’t compete with food production. doi: 10.1002/bbb.74.
