The Era of Enzyme Producing Bioethanol



Biotechnology enzymes company is slowly moving to enzymes generation cellulosic bio-fuel. Enzymes are biological catalysts, and when added, they speed up the process of making the rest of agriculture bio-fuel.

In the last year, at least four manufacturers in India, are asked to produce enzyme cellulose.

Enzymes MAPZA signed an agreement with the National Institute of Interdisciplinary Science and Technology (NIIST), Thiruvananthapuram, for the preparation of two P enzymes janthinellum cellulose and beta-glucosidase. These enzymes when used with biomass or agricultural waste can produce bio-fuel and bio-gas, usually methane gas.

At present, commercial production of bio-ethanol (bio-fuel) carried out by the first generation enzymes. Worldwide, 22,000 MW of biogas has been produced. A study by Bloomberg New Energy Finance, said, India will meet 59% fuel demand for bio-ethanol.

With better technology enzymes, cellulose fibers are used for the extraction of biogas and bio-fuel large quantities of agricultural residues, such as wheat straw, rice straw, corn cobs and sugarcane bagasse.

Novozymes has partnered with Praj Industries for the development of cellulosic ethanol and for his enzymes - Celic2 to various agencies working hard in developing cellulosic ethanol IUAT, including Mumbai. Currently, Novazyme is the largest in the world with enzymes for existing biotethanol production.
