DOE awards $35M to 15 projects in ARPA-E ECOSynBio program to reduce carbon footprint of biofuel production

Green Car Congress

These fermentation processes create carbon as a byproduct, with some processes wasting more than 1/3 of this carbon as CO 2 emissions. The carbon-optimized conversion technology developed under this project can be integrated with multiple CO 2 sources, such as corn grain ethanol refining (near-term) and direct air capture (mid-long term).
