Bioengineering plants with increased biomass and stored
enzymes can dramatically reduce the costs of producing renewable fuels from
non-food parts such as leaves, stems and cobs. Edenspace's first energy
crop,
Energy
Corn™, will double the amount of cellulosic ethanol that can
be made from the current corn crop without increasing farm acreage. Edenspace
is also developing other energy-optimized crops that include switchgrass,
sorghum and sugar cane.
