October 22, 2007 – Vol.12 No.31 Genencor: First Ever Enzyme Product For Cellulosic Ethanol Now Available. The new product - Accellerase(tm) 1000 - contains a potent complex of enzymes that reduces complex lignocellulosic biomass into fermentable sugars used in the production of cellulosic ethanol. The enzyme was developed specifically for second generation biorefineries. Accellerase (tm)1000 will be available for sample and sale immediately. Accellerase (tm) 1000 is intended to fill a large unmet need for reliable biomass enzyme supply for pilot and demonstration plant developers who are actively working on process development, scale up and integration. Accellerase 1000 is the first in what the company expects to be a family of products tailored to different biomass feedstocks and system conditions. Genencor has been developing biomass enzymes for over a decade. The Accellerase effort was partially supported by contracts with the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) as an extension of government policies to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases and increase energy independence. Genencor, a division of Danisco A/S, is a leader in the industrial biotechnology sector operating and operates in more than 40 countries. (10/22/07)
