Biofuels goals are more often than not measured by the millions of gallons, but some of the biggest accomplishments are first achieved on a much smaller scale. Researchers at the U.S. DOE’s Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center, based at the University of Wisconsin and Michigan State University, are three years into a research project focused on identifying new enzymes for cellulosic ethanol production and creating enzyme cocktails that will produce more ethanol at lower costs than what is currently possible.
