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

Green Car Congress

Many biofuels, including ethanol, biodiesel and other products derived from organic material (biomass), are almost exclusively produced via fermentation. Single organism can be limited by CO 2 loss from core metabolic reactions; thus, coupling a heterotroph with an autotroph will enable CO 2 recycling and complete feedstock conversion.
