Qteros will produce biofuels in India

In general, the title does not attract much attention to itself, but the project as a whole is quite interesting. It is worth mentioning that the company Qteros received 22 million investments for the practical implementation of its technology for converting cellulose into alcohol, which is a lot. Now this company is going to launch a large project in India, where both residents and the government favorably refer to alternative energy (it is worth mentioning that it was in India that in the 1980s millions of tenes were installed to obtain biofuels from household organic waste, and the project is very showed himself well). But let's go back to the Qteros technology.

This company, as mentioned above, has developed a method for producing biofuels (ethanol) from cellulose (sawdust, straw, etc.). As the main “converter”, if it is possible to put it this way, special microorganisms are used that are capable of building up a whole chain of chemical reactions, which makes it possible to obtain excellent ethanol from cellulosic waste that is no longer suitable for anything. The company's management believes that their technology can accelerate the production of biofuels several times, compared with traditional schemes.

The difference between this project and the rest is a cheaper final product, the cost of which is significantly lower than the cost of biofuels obtained by any other method. Factories and factories for the production of ethanol from cellulose will be deployed throughout India, and about 450 of these factories have been rebuilt. The most suitable "fuel" for such factories is selected waste sugar cane, which is really no longer suitable for anything.

Qteros management claims that in the United States, the development of methods for producing biofuels has somehow slowed down recently, because companies do not see any interest in introducing such technology. But Brazil, India, China, are extremely interested in Qteros technology, and in other technologies related to alternative energy. Now the commercialization of the project is already underway, and perhaps this is the way to produce ethanol will become generally accepted.

Probably, one should not hope for an early introduction of such technologies in the CIS countries ... Although it would be nice to be mistaken.
