AdvanceBio LLC, an advanced biofuel technology firm, has developed its sugar-based, next-generation fuel ethanol process.
This process has the capacity to utilize sugars that are derived from sugar beet, sweet sorghum, sugarcane as well as other similar crops such as feedstock for producing green power and fuel ethanol while simultaneously producing zero liquid wastes.
When it is built in conjunction along with sugar milling operations, the plants that employ the company’s sugar-based ethanol process would be having the similar, low-greenhouse gas footprint that are found in the existing fuel ethanol industry of Brazil that is cane-based.
AdvancedBio forecasts that the production of fuel ethanol by way of processing sweet sorghum and cane feedstocks would be supplementing corn during the country’s transition to cellulosic ethanol.
