G-Max yeast, crossover refineries for cellulosic ethanol, biodiesel, pyrolysis highlighted at Advanced Biofuels Development Summit

In Washington, Steve Hughes of the USDA’s Agricultural Research Service presented a new “G-Max” yeast for cellulosic ethanol conversion at the Advanced Biofuels Development Summit that will facilitate the production of biodiesel and ethanol from cellulosic feedstocks at “crossover refineries” that combines starch ethanol, cellulosic ethanol and biodiesel production.
