Qteros and Applied CleanTech Partner to Produce Ethanol from Cellulose Extracted from Sewage Sludge
Green Car Congress —
... Biofuels company Qteros has entered into a joint development project with Applied CleanTech (ACT), a commodities recycling company based in Israel, to use ACT’s Recyllose-based feedstock, produced from municipal wastewater solids (sewage sludge), for more efficient and lower-cost ethanol production by Qteros’ Q Microbe technology. Qteros’ system converts a wide array of cellulosic biomass directly into ethanol in a single step, consolidating enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation, largely eliminating enzymes and associated pretreatment, and simplifying the production process. ...
Qteros, Applied CleanTech Look to Sewage for Biofuel
Greentech Media: All Content —
[image] Recyllose - it sounds so much nicer than recovered sewage. But that's what it is, and Applied CleanTech , the company that makes it, thinks it could make a fine biofuel feedstock. To prove it, the Israel-based commodities recycling company has teamed up with ...
Qteros and ACT join forces to produce biofuel from sewage
Green Diary —
... and Applied CleanTech have teamed up for the project wherein the former will license its microbes while the latter will ensure the actual production of wastewater ethanol. Qteros’ microbes are capable of converting one ton of Recyllose into 120 to 135 gallons of ethanol. The project site, cost and production stats are not yet revealed. If all goes well, the team wishes to sell the fuel or power the plant using it. ...
