Biomass comes in many forms. Affordable processing requires us to fractionate the biomass to its basic components as thoroughly as possible with the lowest cost. With this in mind, the material in the process is always a unique combination of feedstock and pretreatment. Therefore, the enzymes must be tailored for the task as well. Biomass is not oil – it’s the soup of the day. MetGen has the competence of creating a blend of enzymes that is optimal to your biomass. Additionally, genetically engineering the selected enzymes further optimizes the performance on your feedstock. Once the enzymes are fine-tuned we can provide a customer-specific production system for hydrolysing your specific substrate with the highest yields, least amount of enzyme, and lowest cost.
MetGen is also working on next-generation technologies making the hydrolysis process continuous and providing enzymes multiple cycles in the process. This new approach holds a potential to enable very utilization of tough but low-cost feedstocks with a fraction of the enzyme cost. Stay tuned for more.
