Biofuels have an important role to play in the world’s future, sustainable energy mix. Biofuel production from sugarcane, corn, wheat, or cassava is already green technology; advanced biofuels like cellulosic ethanol, produced from agricultural residues, waste, or woody biomass, will be even greener.
 
Novozymes began developing enzymes for cellulosic ethanol in 2000. In February, 2010, we launched new Cellic® CTec2 enzymes, the first commercially viable enzymes for production of biofuel from agricultural waste. Since the enzyme cost is just $0.50/gallon of biofuel, it enables the biofuel industry to produce cellulosic ethanol at a price below $2.00/gallon. Today, advanced biofuels can compete on price with ordinary oil-based fuels while saving up to 90% CO2 emission.
 
Through bioinnovation, Novozymes supports and enhances the sustainability of biofuels. Our key role is to develop new enzyme technologies that allow the use of new feedstocks in biofuel production, increase the efficiency of feedstock processing, and maximize the utilization of all feedstock compo­nents. We are constantly improving technologies and processes – delivering increasingly green and sustainable energy.

Minnesota Corn Growers Association - Symposium Banquet Sponsor

The Minnesota Corn Growers Association (MCGA) is a grass-roots organization whose mission is to "identify & promote opportunities for corn growers while enhancing quality of life".  We represent the interest of approximately 25,000 Minnesota farmers.  With 6,000 members MCGA is the largest membership affiliate of the National Corn Growers Association.  Today, more than 40% of the state crop is exported beyond the feed, food & fuel processing uses here in Minnesota.

Dupont –Refreshment Break Sponsor

DuPont, a science-based products and services company, puts science to work by creating sustainable solutions essential to a better, safer, healthier life for people everywhere.  DuPont innovation objectives are focused on the four key global market trends and the increase in demand: increasing food production; protecting people and the environment; reducing dependence on fossil fuels and capitalizing the growth in emerging markets. 

China-Brasil Center for Climate Change and Energy
Technology Innovation- Supporting Sponsor
 

The China-Brazil Center for Climate Change and Energy Technology Innovation is a technological and academic cooperation between COPPE/UFRJ – which is the major engineering research center in Latin America – and Tsinghua University, which is the most important Chinese university in the field of engineering.The Sino-Brazilian partnership is concentrated on climate change and technologies focused on energy. The two institutions formed a partnership in order to face the biggest challenges in the 21st century, i.e, to make energy production compatible with the plant environmental protection.
