Licell is an ethanol fuel company that is focused on advancing its methods of producing ethanol in order to reduce its negative impact on the environment. Currently, the company uses a traditional method of producing ethanol from corn by using a starch-based process; however, it is also researching and refining a newer method which is based on the cellulose structures of switchgrass, corn stalks & tree bark.
The potential benefits of this method include lessening, even further, the amount of CO2 released into the environment along with decreasing the level of competition for resources between biofuels and food production. Upon refining this process, Licell has plans to implement this method into its own production cycle.
