Ceres and Rohm and Haas to study plant-based BioPRODUCTS
Energy crop company Ceres, Inc. and Rohm and Haas Company, a leading manufacturer of specialty materials, today announced a research collaboration that will work toward producing plant-based alternatives to a petroleum-derived material used in thousands of home and industrial products.
Funded by a $1.5 million research grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the three-year project will determine if energy crops planted for cellulosic ethanol セルロース系エタノール could simultaneously produce methacrylate monomers, a key raw material used in the manufacture of many products including paint and coatings, building materials, and acrylic sheet and resins. The economics are attractive. More than 1.5 billion pounds of methacrylate monomers are produced annually in the United States, a market worth $780 million.
Though in its early stages, the science looks promising. Molecular biologists and biochemistry experts at Ceres say that some plants naturally produce compounds similar to methacrylate monomers, but do not necessarily accumulate them in extractable forms or quantities. They believe it may be feasible to alter the way plants produce these compounds so that they can be extracted from the dried stalks, stems and leaves before these are fed into biorefineries producing ethanol from cellulose. Cellulosic ethanol derives its energy from the whole plant rather than just the grain, as in corn-based ethanol.
ABOUT CERES
Ceres, Inc. ( www.ceres.net ) is the leading developer of
high-yielding energy crops that can be planted as feedstocks for
cellulosic ethanol production. Its development efforts cover
switchgrass, miscanthus, poplar and other energy crops. Founded
in 1997 as a plant genomics company, Ceres holds the largest
proprietary collection of fully sequenced plant genes, including
more than 75,000 genes and 10,000 gene promoters. The privately
held company also licenses its traits to other organizations.
Ceres' headquarters are located in Thousand Oaks, California.
