In Michigan, Neogen Corporation announced that it has launched the new CelluSmart technology from Megazyme by Neogen for the measurement of cellulosic ethanol from biofuel production.
In creating this technology, Neogen improved upon the previous National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) procedure, introducing a yeast-degrading cocktail (YDC). With these improvements, CelluSmart allows the ethanol industry to fully realize its efforts to produce low-carbon fuels, represented in value by the D3 RINs generated from in-situ production, the company said.
The CelluSmart technology has the potential to help ethanol producers further reduce carbon intensity scores, which, in combination with other factors, may help them gain access to new markets, including sustainable aviation fuel.
“The ethanol industry is a success story in providing low-carbon renewable energy,” said John Adent, Neogen’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “With the new CelluSmart technology, we can continue to leverage our knowledge in fiber and carbohydrate method development to contribute to the growth of this industry and help create a more sustainable world.”
