Renewable oils developer Solazyme took the #1 spot in the 2013-14 \u201c50 Hottest Companies in Bioenergy\u201d rankings. It was the third consecutive year at the top for Solazyme, which also topped the Biofuels Digest polls in 2009-10.<\/strong><\/p>\n

LanzaTech (#2), KiOR (#3), Sapphire Energy (#4), Gevo (#5), Beta Renewables (#6), POET (#7), INEOS Bio (#8), GranBio (#9) and DSM (#10) rounded out the top 10.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ranked #11 through #20 are DuPont Industrial Biosciences (#11), Novozymes (#12), Abengoa Bioenergy (#13), Enerkem (#14), Amyris (#15), CoolPlanet Energy Systems (#16), Joule Unlimited (#17), Neste Oil (#18), Virent (#19), and Ceres (#20)<\/p>\n

The annual rankings, which recognize innovation and achievement in biobased chemicals and materials development, are based 50 percent on votes from an invited panel of distinguished international selectors, and 50 percent on votes from subscribers of Biofuels Digest and voters on Twitter, Facebook and photo voting via BiofuelsDigest.com. Overall, more than 100,000 individual company ratings were received from panelists and voters.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year, the voters went global in picking four companies out of the top 10 founded outside the United States,\u201d said Biofuels Digest editor and publisher Jim Lane. \u201cFeedstocks and intermediates dfid particularly well this year \u2014 algae, jatropha, renewable sugars. In addition, companies that did well have demonstrated financial strength as well as technological differentiation.<\/p>\n

Among the Hot 50, 38 were US-based companies and 12 were from other countries. 20 are active in cellulosic biofuuels development (up from 17 last year), 12 utilize algae, advanced yeasts or cyanobacteria in their microbial energy solutions (up from nine last year), and 15 are producing \u201cdrop-in\u201d renewable biofuels such as biobutanol, renewable diesel, green gasoline and renewable jet fuel (up from 14).<\/p>\n

New companies in the list this year are: GranBio (#9), CoolPlanet (#16), Sweetwater Energy (#27), Propel Fuels (#29), American Process #37), BASF (#40), Midori Renewables (#47) and Cellana (#49).<\/p>\n

The Miami, FL-based Biofuels Digest published more than 3,000 news stories on bioenergy in the past year, and serves more than 600,000 unique readers and followers via the web, newsletters and social media in every UN-recognized country.<\/p>\n
