Cellic CTec3 allows the cost of producing ethanol from biomass to approach the level of corn ethanol and gasoline, according to the company. With our new product, Cellic CTec3, and the first plants starting commercial production, this is a huge step forward in the transition from an oil-based economy to a bio-based economy.

That volume would represent more than 20% of the cellulosic ethanol mandated in the US Renewable Fuel Standard. Today, the US effectively has a 90% mandate for oil in the gasoline supply. With regular gasoline limited to a 10% blend and a lack of higher blend infrastructure, there is no market for cellulosic ethanol.”.

During the late innings of the ICE-age (as in the Internal Combustion Engine age) it has become clear that feeding gasoline and diesel to the next billion new cars is not going to be easy, or cheap. By contrast, at 25 miles per $3 gallon of gasoline, those miles cost 12 cents each. by Henry Hewitt for Oilprice.com.
