Novozymes Sees Cellulase Cost for Ethanol Going to $0.50-1.50 per Gallon
Mar 18At World Biofuels Markets, Novozymes global marketing manager Cindy Bryant credited the company’s Cellic enzyme product family for “achieving the best cost/performance ratio seen so far” and helping to enable cellulosic ethanol pioneers to make cellulosic ethanol a reality. Bryant said that the company expects enzyme costs for cellulosic ethanol to come down to the $0.50-$1.50 per gallon range by 2010, down from $2.00-$4.75 per gallon in 2007.
Note the wording: she is talking about cellulase enzyme cost only, not the overall cost of producing ethanol.
