Using several licensed technologies resulting from the work of the Center for Bioenergy Innovation (CBI) at ORNL and Dartmouth College, Terragia Biofuel of New Hampshire plans to commercialize biofuels production using feedstocks such as plant-based lignocellulose. Terragia will scale up CBI technology to break down and convert the nonfood, tough, fibrous parts of plants with engineered bacteria in a one-step processing method. The CBI-developed method does not require costly enzymes or thermochemical pretreatment like those currently used in conventional ethanol production. The no-waste process can be bolted onto existing ethanol refineries or used on purpose-grown energy crops like poplar trees and switchgrass. Learn more about the technology and CBI.
