Sustainability
Biofuel production has an important role to play in the world’s future, sustainable energy mix.
Biofuel production from sugarcane, corn, wheat, or cassava is already green technology; advanced biofuels like cellulosic ethanol, produced from agricultural residues, waste, or woody biomass, will be even greener.
The industry is constantly improving technologies and processes – delivering increasingly green and sustainable energy.
- Biofuels significantly reduce CO2 emissions compared to fossil fuels.
- Biofuels are a low-carbon fuel for a low-carbon future.
- Biofuels provide food and energy from the same crop.
- Biofuels help drive increasingly sustainable agriculture.
- Biofuel feedstocks can be produced with less input.
- Biofuels contribute to social and economic development of local communities.
Through bioinnovation, Novozymes supports and enhances the sustainability of biofuels. Our key role is to develop new enzyme technologies that allow the use of new feedstocks in biofuel production, increase the efficiency of feedstock processing, and maximize the utilization of all feedstock components.
Through participation in the Roundtable on Sustainable Biofuel and other sustainability-focused initiatives, Novozymes collaborates with a broad range of stakeholders to help drive the deployment of sustainable biofuels.
