Evolution Resources Signs Biomass Testing Services Agreement with North Carolina State University

Evolution Resources has signed a Testing Services Agreement with North Carolina State University. Evolution Resources is an advanced biofuels production company that produces cellulosic ethanol using advanced technologies and processes.

North Carolina State University will work with Evolution Resources as per the agreement to test and bring about improvements in the current laboratory-scale technology within a bigger pilot-scale system. The technology deals with the enzymatic carbohydrate conversion of woody biomass to fermentable sugars.

For more than 50 years, North Carolina State’s Department of Wood and Paper Science has introduced a number of scientists, engineers, management professionals and technologists in the forest products industry. North Carolina State’s Department of Wood and Paper Science is also considered as a leading educational institution in the country for this sector.

At present, Evolution Resources is concentrating in implementing certain proposed projects and the successful completion of these projects will allow the company to make use of its existing assets and infrastructure to substantially reduce the time frame that is required to establish commercial scale cellulosic ethanol and biodiesel production facilities.
