This innovative technology has received the support of a number of Federal and Ontario programs and agencies including, Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC), Innovation Development Fund (IDF), Sustainable Chemistry Alliance (SCA) and Center for Research and Development in the Bio-economy (CRIBE).

After thousands of trials, G2 BioChem's innovative and versatile technology has successfully processed a variety of biomass feedstocks including agricultural residues (corn cobs, stover and bagasse), energy crops (sorghum and miscanthus), as well as woody biomass (poplar).

G2 BioChem is unlocking the future. "G2 BioChem's technology is feedstock agnostic and optimizes next-generation ethanol yields using all available sugars. Also, our process technology results in a low-cost-per-litre, which is essential to the viable commercialization of next generation ethanol," said Barry Wortzman, President of G2BioChem and Vice President, Business Development, GreenField Ethanol.

"We are most grateful to our partners, collaborators and Federal and Ontario government supporters, without whom we would not have been able to achieve what we have," added Wortzman. To successfully commercialize its process technology G2 BioChem is continuing to reach out to partners and collaborators for support and input.

"G2 BioChem's advanced biofuels technology has the potential to fundamentally change the burgeoning renewable fuels and biochemical industries - while protecting our environment and boosting Ontario's economy," said Glen Murray, Minister, Ontario Research and Innovation.

G2Biochem is backed by major international partners and collaborators including Andritz and Novozymes. "As a collaborative partner, Novozymes' goal is to enable and facilitate the realization of cellulosic ethanol production at commercial scale, as quickly as possible; and in our opinion, this technology is leading the way to accomplishing that objective," said Cynthia Bryant, Global Business Development, Novozymes.

"Andritz is excited to be partnering on this initiative, and to contribute its expertise in process equipment technology for the commercial scale up of the process," said Bertil Stromberg, Vice President, BioFuels, Andritz.

G2 BioChem is poised to demonstrate and validate its unique process technology on a pre-commercial, continuous scale. Construction date for phase one of the demonstration plant is scheduled for this summer.
