The process was developed by professors of Maryland University of Science and Technology, Steve Hutcheson and Ron Weiner, and has now become the basis for the development of the industrial incubator company Zymetis. The company has stopped at the university campus.
The new technology called "Zymetis" will bring new development opportunities for the production of ethanol from waste and it is expected to achieve a green friendly production target of zero carbon emissions. The Zymetis process has the potential to produce ethanol and other biofuels from many different types of plants and plant waste (ie, cellulose sources).
At the heart of the new process is the use of swamp ground bacteria in Chesapeake Bay. Prof. Steve Hutcheson discovered that this bacterium is an enzyme that can quickly break plants into sugars, in which sugars can be further converted into biofuels. Prof. Steve Hutcheson estimates that the market value of enzymes in biofuels can reach 5 billion U.S. dollars a year. The new process can produce 75 billion gal/a (1gal=3.785L) zero-emission bioethanol.
