Shell has acquired an equity stake in Canadian bioethanol technology company Iogen Energy Corporation for $29mn. The deal will help progress rapid development of what is claimed to be the world’s first commercial-scale biomass to ethanol plant. Unlike conventional fuel ethanol, a high-octane alcohol produced from the fermentation of sugar derived from the starch in grains such as corn and wheat, bioethanol is made from the fermentation of sugars derived from the plant fibre in renewable feedstocks such as wood and straw. Compared with gasoline, ethanol made from plant fibre is reported to release over 90% less emissions of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide.
