Sugar to Biodiesel

The sugar to biodieselpathway uses advanced biological science to convert sugars derived from biomass into lipids using unique fermentation micro-organisms ; the lipids are then converted into fuel molecules through chemical or thermocatalytic processes.
 
Biodiesel produced from sustainable feedstocks via the fermentation of sugars will offer the potential to deliver greenhouse gas emission reductions of up to 80-90% when compared to traditional fossil fuel. Other advantages of this sugar to biodiesel pathway over conventional biodiesel made from vegetable oils include:

·     

Access to a wide variety of biomass feedstocks such as sugar cane, sugar cane waste (bagasse), energy grass and woodchips, which can be produced at scale and in high yield.

·     

Use of sustainable, non-food, plant bioma ss as its feedstock.

·     

Ability to tailor the product for a variety of diesel and jet-fuel needs.

·     

Reduced exposure to vegetable oil price.
