DSM acquiring C5 Yeast Company to strengthen position in cellulosic ethanol

Source : greencarcongress.com

Royal DSM, a global life sciences and materials sciences company, is acquiring C5 Yeast Company B.V. (Bergen op Zoom, Netherlands) from Royal Cosun. The acquisition will allow DSM to combine C5 Yeast Company's business with its own advanced yeast and enzyme technologies for second-generation biofuels (cellulosic ethanol derived from agricultural residues and non-edible crops). Financial details of the acquisition will not be disclosed. Completion of the transaction is subject to customary approvals and notifications. DSM currently is already capable of offering both enzyme and yeast fermentation technologies to increase conversion rates to make the technology commercially viable. The yield of DSM's advanced yeast technology for second generation bio-fuels on cellulose derived C5/C6 sugars can exceed 90% conversion rate, recent tests have shown.
