Taurus Energy and Lallemand sign agreement

Sweden-based Taurus Energy and Canadian yeast and bacteria specialist Lallemand have signed a collaboration agreement to develop, market, sell and distribute Taurus' Gen 2 XyloFerm yeast platform on the US market.

'It has been our goal from the beginning to market our yeast technology globally,' says Lars Welin, CEO, Taurus Energy. 'Partnering with Lallemand with its experience in production and distribution is a perfect fit for us. It will give us a new foothold in the US market with our Gen 2 technology.'

'The road to commercialisation for cellulosic ethanol is still filled with challenges,' adds Angus Ballard, president of Lallemand Biofuels and Distilled Spirits, 'but it is meeting and solving those challenges that are crucial for the future of the whole ethanol industry. We are pleased to welcome the valuable experience from Taurus Energy and to add its XyloFerm products to our yeast portfolio.'
