Cellulosic ethanol technology – formicobio™

formicobio™ represents the most sustainable technology for the production of non-food cellulosic bioethanol.

formicobio™ technology enables production of transportation fuel from agricultural residues both profitably and sustainably. A biorefinery based on formicobio™ technology meets the three key aspects of sustainability – environmental, economic, and social – and can convert residues into a range of products. Our unique formicobio™ technology can process a variety of non-food biomass generated as agricultural by-products, including wheat straw, corn stalks, reeds, bagasse, and residue from palm oil production.
