ChemChina-owned agrochemical company Syngenta has signed agreements with more than 30 US ethanol plants for use of its Enogen corn enzyme technology. “Across a growing number of ethanol plants, Enogen corn is helping to fuel enzyme innovation.” The product, which uses enzymes, is the first of its kind to be engineered to specifically improve ethanol production. In an interview at his office in Beijing, Zhang said that he was “very happy” about the deal and hoped it would help China become self-sufficient in ethanol. Participation is expected to generate $28.5m in revenues this year for growers.
