Cellulosic ethanol can be produced in large quantities in different parts of the world and does not rely on a highly developed agricultural economy to support its production facilities, drawing its feedstock from simple to grow energy crops, forestry or industrial biomass residues.
The use of cellulosic ethanol is mandated in the USA and supported in the EU driven by the global push for more sustainable low carbon options to replace fossil fuels.
Chemically identical to corn or sugarcane based 1G ethanol, distribution takes place through existing infrastructure and is compatible with proven engine technologies when blended with gasoline.

Some of the key benefits of using cellulosic biomass as a feedstock for biofuels include:
- Outstanding greenhouse gas balance
- No use of food or feed crops
- No expansion of area under crop or land-use-change
- Brings sustainable business to underutilized locations and industries
- The perfect drop-in solution to combat climate change
