Ethanol from diverse feedstocks-Coskata's syngas biotechnology path

Rathin Datta, Coskata, Inc., Warrenville, IL --

Gasification of lignocellulosic biomass or other carbonaceous feedstocks enables all of the heterogeneous components to be converted to syngas with high efficiency.  Coskata’s technology path utilizes its novel strains with novel and efficient bioreactor designs and membrane based separations.  This integrated technology can enable a highly efficient and economical process.  This paper will briefly discuss the key features of the technology.
