Why we need bioethanol?
Carbon dioxide reduction in atmosphere is an urgent task to tackle green
house effect
of globe. Japan has to make efforts to this task to accomplish Kyoto protocol.
Japanese government issued the policy to introduce 3% ethanol addition
(E3) to gasoline
NECFER’s technology
NECFER has invented new fermentation technology for fuel ethanol (bioethanol)
production
that is"ishizakiprocess(R)"This method employs Zymomonas,
That is bacterium with very rapid growth and fermentation rate than yeast
which usually uses for traditional brewery.
Sago palm as raw material
Sago palm is newly developed tropical crop as renewable resource from carbon dioxide by
photosynthesis. Its photosynthetic ability is very high and sago palm can accumulate starch in
trunk as high as 15-20 ton per hectare per year. Thus the starch can convert into ethanol as 8-10
Kiloliter. NECFER will provide the technology of bioethanol production from sago palm
