Cobalt Technologies Hits Key Commercial Milestone with Pretreatment Process Demonstration
Date:3/7/2012

o produce the desired liquid hydrolysate – a liquid-based sugar that is then converted into n-butanol.

"The hydrolysates produced at ANDRITZ's demonstration facility have been fermented successfully at our facility in Mountain View, California without the need of any conditioning to remove inhibitory compounds," said Mayer. "By proving we can meet, and in some areas, exceed our commercial targets and cost metrics at this scale, we are now well positioned to leverage this critical milestone to support our on-going commercialization efforts."

This milestone not only proves the ability of Cobalt's pretreatment process to scale-up, it also marks the first phase of Cobalt's partnership with specialty chemical company, Rhodia in Brazil to develop bio n-butanol refineries throughout Latin America utilizing bagasse as a feedstock.   

With the completion of the pretreatment demonstration trials, Cobalt will now move on to demonstrate its advanced non-GMO strain performance at commercial scale.
