Süd-Chemie and Linde to develop second-generation biofuels production plants

9th May, 2008

Germany-based Süd-Chemie, a manufacturer of catalysts and adsorbents, and Linde Group, a gases and engineering company, have agreed to develop and market plants for the production of second-generation biofuels.

The collaboration will involve a biotechnological process to extract fuels such as ethanol from plant matter containing cellulose, such as wheat and maize straw, grasses or wood. Based on these renewable resources, second-generation biofuels offer a significant improvement in terms of climate and energy balance compared with the first-generation biofuels. >> click here for more
