Fueling a Cleaner Tomorrow
Markets
The Jupeng Bio process captures non-food, waste carbon to produce high purity ethanol.
The need to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels is pressing. Bioethanol has the potential to significantly reduce our dependence on oil-derived fuels for transport. However, we are still just at the beginning of the biofuels journey. It is against this backdrop that Jupeng Bio is seeking to commercialize its leading bioethanol technology. The Jupeng Bio Ethanol is an exceptionally high performing biofuel in terms of carbon footprint and sustainability measures. It delivers more than 90% greenhouse gas savings vs. gasoline, has the potential to be cheaper than gasoline, and does not require food crops or agricultural land.
Products - Bio Ethanol
Bioethanol is a renewable fuel. It reduces greenhouse gas emissions compared to gasoline. When bioethanol is combusted, it effectively returns carbon dioxide back to the atmosphere, which had been taken out relatively recently as the biomass grew. Conversely, burning traditional gasoline releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere from carbon that has been stored in the form of oil over a significantly longer time period.
There are three main approaches to producing bioethanol from biomass materials:
- Conventional fermentation of sugars obtained from sugar and starch crops
- Hydrolysis of cellulose to sugars using acid or enzymes followed by fermentation of the sugars
- Gasification of any organic based feedstock to syngas followed by conversion
The Jupeng Bio process falls into the third category. It is an advanced thermochemical and biochemical technology, which can convert cellulose, hemi-cellulose and lignin efficiently to clean bioethanol which can be blended with gasoline for automotive transport.
Jupeng Bio's bioethanol has been certified by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard D4806. The bioethanol has been commercially produced and sold into distribution in the USA.
