Cooling and Fueling the Planet
Qteros' unique Q Microbe® technology platform offers the industry for the first time a cost effective pathway to accelerate and optimize the commercial build-out of cellulosic ethanol production throughout the world market.
Working to produce the lowest-cost non-food cellulosic energyAt Qteros, we are developing a carbon-neutral conversion process that produces the lowest cost, non-food, scalable ethanol that will help substitute for the planet's fast diminishing liquid fuel supplies. Our biomass-to-ethanol conversion process begins with the naturally occurring Q Microbe®, a highly efficient and versatile organism. Qteros' scientists and engineers are developinga more efficient and less costly process than conventional conversion. As we roll out our technology on a commercial scale, homegrown transportation fuel will become cheaper, cleaner, and more sustainable. Qteros Process Is Virtually Carbon-NeutralThe Qteros industrial process is very close to being carbon neutral; it produces only slightly more CO2 than its plant material inputs absorb from the atmosphere. |
