This project aims to develop a cost-effective method for producing biobutanol using crude glycerol, a waste product from biodiesel production. By utilizing Clostridium pasteurianum, the project seeks to enhance butanol yield and productivity, contributing to sustainable biofuel production.
Heightened concerns over global warming and the supply, security and price of fossil oil, has led to a resurgence of interest in biological routes to the production of biofuels and chemicals.
Butanol is a superior biofuel to ethanol with an existing platform chemical market of >3 M tonne/yr - worth $8 billion.
Current attempts to revive a commercial butanol fermentation process are thwarted by: (i) the high cost of the feedstock; (ii) solvent toxicity and; (iii) low titers.
Feedstock cost is 60-…
