DuPont chooses Murex to market cellulosic ethanol

DuPont Industrial Biosciences (DuPont) has selected Murex to market cellulosic ethanol produced from its 30 million gallon plant in Nevada, Iowa.

Once completed, the facility will be the largest cellulosic ethanol plant in the world.

The Nevada biorefinery will use all parts of the corn stover – the stalks, leaves and cobs.

'We are excited to work with an industry leader such as DuPont to bring cellulosic ethanol to market and maximize its value,' says Robert Wright, president, Murex.
