06 Apr 2011Syngenta introduces its first biotech corn trait for boosting ethanol production. Enogen is a corn amylase technology that makes starch conversion more efficient, which improves the productivity of the dry grind ethanol process.
“This trait is designed to provide significant benefits to the dry grind ethanol industry,” says Jack Bernens, Syngenta technology acceptance. “For an ethanol plant producing 100 million gallons of ethanol, the Enogen corn hybrid will drop million to the plant’s bottom line, primarily through increased throughput efficiencies and a reduction in energy and water requirements.”
