Napoleon Ballroom C-D, 3rd fl (Sheraton New Orleans)
In its unprecedented efforts to accelerate the commercial viability of the enzymatic platform for industrial production of advanced biofuels, Novozymes has continued to develop new cellulases and hemicellulases to meet this challenge. The focus of this presentation is to illustrate the application characteristics of these cellulases and hemicelluases. The presentation will compare the major improvements of the next generation cellulases and hemicellulases under development over Novozymes current commercial products, Cellic CTec2 and HTec2. Guidance and examples will be provided on how to use these enzymes for various biomass substrates from different pretreatments. The presentation will also discuss options in process developments to take advantage of improved enzymes and their ability to reduce the overall cost of biofuel production at commercially relevant scale. Examples in biomass conversion will be provided from Novozymes’ valuable partners, including those in Asia, European, and North America.
