Renewable chemicals and advanced biofuels developer Gevo has said it has successfully produced jet fuel from cellulosic biomass.
The company, which is funded with a $1.8 million grant from the US Departments of Energy and Agriculture Biomass R&D Program, said it converted fermentable sugars from cellulosic biomass into isobutanol, which was converted to isobutylene and paraffinic kerosene.
Colorad0-based Gevo is using a biocatalyst licensed from Cargill to develop biorefinery systems.
