Endorsement of enzymatic hydrolysis from Al Gore

In an interview with Newsweek Magazine, former Vice President Al Gore had this to say about the next phase of biofuels production:

The pathway that I think is likely to be the winner is enzymatic hydrolysis, which essentially uses engineered enzymes to break down the cellulose, the lignin, into fermentable compounds...

That is the pathway that POET uses to produce cellulosic ethanol at our pilot facility and will commercialize through Project LIBERTY. Here is a representation of how our process works:

 

Thanks to the former Vice President for his endorsement and Biofuels Digest for bringing it to our attention.
