CleanTech Biofuels Announces Joint Research Agreement with Green Tech America

CleanTech Biofuels, Inc. announced today that it has entered into a Joint Research Agreement with Green Tech America, Inc., a Company founded by Dr. Nancy Ho of Purdue University, whereby Green Tech America (GTA) will provide research and testing to CleanTech Biofuels on the fermentation stage of CleanTech’s municipal solid waste to ethanol project.

Green Tech America, Inc. is developing and commercializing an innovative yeast-based cellulosic ethanol technology that was pioneered by Dr. Nancy Ho, Research Molecular Biologist/Group Leader of the Laboratory of Renewable Resources Engineering at Purdue University. The goal of GTA is to establish a novel, cutting-edge company that supports and collaborates with ethanol producers to make the production of cellulosic ethanol a highly profitable business. Based on the Cellulosic Ethanol Yeast Technology developed by Dr. Ho and her colleagues at Purdue University, GTA will optimize the technical details and establish a blueprint for cellulosic ethanol production. Dr. Ho has led the World in this field since 1993. Her work has been appreciated worldwide, which is evidenced by the international awards bestowed on Dr. Ho. Her work is also widely reported by newspapers and magazines in the US and around world.
