Performance Data of Novozymes New Cellulase Systems
The US Department of Energy launched a 3-year program to reduce the cost of cellulase enzymes for ethanol production from pretreated lignocellulose substrates back in 2001. The impact of research performed during this program was quite significant according to the cost metric specified by NREL and DOE, by which the enzyme cost was reduced 30-fold. The new cellulase enzymes did, however, not only result in important cost improvements compared to the old cellulase systems.
From the results presented here, it is also evident that the performance of these new enzymes was improved at various process conditions. The presentation will include performance data from cellulose hydrolysis of pretreated lignocellulosic substrates at various pH and temperature, and will furthermore include a discussion of how the activity/efficiency of cellulase enzymes can be evaluated using process relevant approaches.
