Well enlighten us ! Can you name the company and the enzyme, please. The company in Ottawa is Iogen (that's an I not an L), but I'm afraid I didn't go so far as to find out the name of the enzyme; I've been remiss. (And we too have our major sources of inertia... We call it collectively,

Then why are the chattering classes always talking about corn as the input vs cellulose? Oh - and by the way, apparently the Ottawa company - experts in this area of biotechnology - was the pioneer in producing and using this enzyme effectively. That's what I'm told... and I believe

There is another way of making ethanol: from cellulose. There's a process that uses an enzyme that converts the cellulose to sugar from which it is converted to ethanol. The process is proven; ethanol is being produced this way. Nobody seems to have taken notice of this process, which was
