DuPont Danisco to open demo plant
On 29 January DuPont Danisco Cellulosic Ethanol (DDCE) and University of Tennessee/Genera Energy will open their first cellulosic ethanol demo plant, dedicated to converting both agricultural residue and bioenergy crops to fuel ethanol.
The facility, located in Vonore, Tennessee, has initiated start-up and commissioning and will begin producing ethanol in mid-January.
The facility has the capacity to produce 250,000 gallons of ethanol from corncobs and switchgrass and is preparing DDCE's innovative integrated technology for commercial production by 2012.
In Tennessee, DDCE has partnered with Genera Energy, which is wholly owned by the University of Tennessee Research Foundation and focuses on developing integrated biomass supply chain solutions and strategic partnerships to support the bioenergy industry in Tennessee.
