into renewable diesel in a US Department of Energy (DOE) funded biorefinery project. The pilot-scale project use both free (soluble) sugars and biomass (cellulosic) sugars from Ceres’ sweet sorghum hybrids grown in Alabama, Florida, Hawaii, Louisiana and Tennessee. Amyris modifies farnesene to become renewable diesel.

It can be used as a fuel additive to displace and clean up existing fossil fuels, and to lower their carbon footprint. Data collected with colleagues at the University of Alabama have shown 70-90% conversion of feedstock to SCFAs (short chain fatty acids). EEB has higher energy content than ethanol: 26-29 MJ/L compared to 23.
