Genencor today announced it fully supports President George Bush’s call to increase usage of ethanol to over 35 billion gallons by 2017 and efforts that support the continuing development of technology to create alternative fuels using renewable resources like wood chips, grasses and agriculture waste. Genencor, a global producer of enzymes for the ethanol industry, has been instrumental in developing new technologies to convert biomass to ethanol, which if successfully commercialized, could lead to reduced dependence on foreign oil, greater homeland security and a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
