Biomass Sugars to Hydrocarbon Biofuels: The Digest’s 2020 Multi-Slide Guide to Enzymatic Hydrolysis Development Efforts

Reducing cost and improving manufacturability of the biomass sugar platform through Continuous Enzymatic Hydrolysis (CEH) technology is one of the goals for NREL. James D. McMillan from NREL shared the latest research developments at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) 2019 Project Peer Review on how CEH is essential to realize economical clarified biomass sugars-to-hydrocarbon biofuels and chemicals processes, how CEH intensifies the rate limiting EH step; reduces CAPEX; enables a continuous manufacturing platform, and more.
