Shell and Logen Accelerate Next Generation Biofuel
01 September 2008
Shell and Logen Corporation announced an extended commercial alliance to accelerate development and deployment of cellulosic ethanol. The terms of the agreement include a significant investment by Shell in technology development with Logen Energy Corporation, a jointly owned development company dedicated to advancing cellulosic ethanol. The collaboration with Logen is a key part of Shell’s strategic investment and development programme in biofuels, particularly in 'next generation' biofuels using non-food feedstocks. The fuel is made from raw materials such as wheat straw and promises to reduce CO2 production by up to 90% compared to conventional gasoline.
Shell’s global biofuels programme also includes collaborations with Choren (on production on BTL), Codexis (on enzyme conversion) and Virent (on development of biogasoline), as well as a joint venture called Cellana (development of marine algae for vegetable oil).
