In California, a comprehensive presentation on the “Arkenol Process”, a concentrated acid hydrolysis alternative to using enzymes for cellulosic ethanol production, is now online here.
The Arkenol Process was developed by a predecessor company to BlueFire Ethanol and will be employed by BlueFire at its two proposed plants in California.
