Amyris processes Ceres sweet sorghum into renewable diesel using soluble and cellulosic sugars

Green Car Congress

The DOE’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), at its Colorado pilot-scale biochemical conversion facility, converted the biomass from Ceres’ hybrids into cellulosic sugars, which Amyris subsequently fermented into renewable farnesene. As an energy crop, sweet sorghum is an impressive producer of low-cost, fermentable sugars.
