Green Biologics: Grant Funding for Advanced Biofuels Project

Oxfordshire, United Kingdom: 15 November 2010 - Green Biologics Ltd (GBL), a butanol fermentation technology compay, is pleased to announce that together with Physiomics plc and North Energy has been awarded a total grant for £268,000 from the Carbon Trust for a project to demonstrate an Advanced Fermentation Process for Butanol.

The aim is to improve the microbial fermentation process for producing renewable butanol (a "next generation" biofuel) using solventogenic Clostridia. The project will focus on improvements in butanol productivity using a novel bioreactor design together with improved microbes and cheaper more sustainable feedstock found in the UK.
