Engineering & Technology: Overview
Qteros brings the critical missing factor required for the successful commercialization of cellulosic ethanol: a highly-integrated, streamlined and low-cost process.
Combining proprietary science and advanced microbiology with proven process engineering, Qteros has developed an industry-standard Consolidated Bioprocessing (CBP) platform that simplifies complex engineering operations, reduces costly production steps and delivers low-cost cellulosic ethanol from a broad variety of non-food feedstock sources.
Our technology and process engineering platform enables a simplified biomass-to-ethanol conversion process that minimizes capital and operating expenses for ethanol producers and refiners. At the core of our Consolidated Bioprocessing platform is our proprietary microorganism, the Q Microbe® (Clostridium phytofermentans).
Qteros' scientists are building upon the "natural biorefinery" characteristics of the Q Microbe® to optimize the cellulosic ethanol conversion process
Accelerating the global commercialization of low-cost cellulosic ethanol demands innovative solutions to complex technological challenges. At Qteros, our science and engineering teams are tackling those problems—and creating a powerful first-mover advantage in the process.
