In yeast, Force continues to deliver on the promise to quickly bring innovative, robust, and reliable biological solutions to the market from the Innova yeast platform established last year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFortiva and Innova Force both provide ethanol producers with the technology needed to push for greater profits in changing market conditions \u2013 and they underline Novozymes\u2019 continued commitment to support the ethanol industry with innovation that makes a real, meaningful difference for the producer,\u201d says Brian Brazeau, Vice President, Biofuels Commercial North America at Novozymes. \u201cNovozymes has always spearheaded biological innovation for the ethanol industry; Fortiva and Force continue that journey with more to come as we work to unlock the full potential of biology.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fortiva: The highest starch solubilization in the industry by converting the most starch to useable sugars<\/p>\n<p>High enzyme performance means maximizing the potential return on investment. Corn input costs are the highest variable cost for fuel ethanol producers and passing available starch from this input means lost opportunity and profit. Fortiva maximizes the conversion of corn inputs into profit in a very tight margin environment \u2013 creating on average 1% higher ethanol yield and 20% lower residual starch.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis latest technology from Novozymes outpaces all other liquefaction technologies for input conversion and process efficiency,\u201d says Brian Brazeau. \u201cBringing meaningful innovation to the market is something very important to our customers and to Novozymes. Recent transformational innovations, such as our patented thermostable protease, have returned significant value to ethanol producers and while thermostable protease was transformational, Fortiva is the next leap in amylase technology \u2013 beyond anything we have previously seen or developed in this space.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>A force to be reckoned with: Delivering the greatest tolerance of high ethanol concentrations and lowest residual starch<\/h3>\n<p>In 2018, Novozymes established an ambitious yeast platform, Innova. During its first year, Novozymes launched two new solutions from it \u2013 Drive and Lift \u2013 delivering industry-changing robustness to fermentation, aligned with customer needs for yeast, tolerant to fuel ethanol production demands \u2013 while eliminating bottlenecks and limitations created by all other yeasts.<\/p>\n<p>Innova Force targets ethanol plants seeking flexibility to achieve operational targets without sacrificing robust performance. It allows producers to achieve throughput and yield targets without losing ethanol yield to common stressors, such as high temperature and organic acids. Force gives producers the flexibility to push for yield without compromise, and to choose the format that best fits their operation, dry or cream.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Innova platform, with the launch of Drive, Lift, and now Force, has been adopted as the most robust yeast in the marketplace. Novozymes\u2019 yeast solutions enable ethanol producers to run their plants the way they want to \u2013 and not be boxed in by a one-size-fits-all product,\u201d Brazeau comments. \u201cWithin 1.5 years of launching our first yeast, over one quarter of North American ethanol plants now use Novozymes\u2019 yeast, clearly signaling the need for the performance, flexibility, and reliability Innova solutions deliver.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Biofuels \u2013 blazing a new path for renewable, more sustainable energy<\/h3>\n<p>Since inception, the ethanol industry has continually increased efficiency, producing more gallons of renewable ethanol from fewer inputs, requiring less land and other inputs to create that energy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy leveraging the biological synergies and sustainability of our enzymes, yeast, and technical service platforms, Novozymes has reset performance expectations for ethanol production,\u201d says Brian Brazeau. \u201cThe launches of the Innova Force fermentation solution and Fortiva, our newest liquefaction solution, together deliver the most holistic, sustainable, and advanced approach to ethanol production, all based on customer needs and our commitment to a better tomorrow using transformational biology.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fortiva\u00ae outpaces all other liquefaction technologies, resulting in starch conversion levels never before seen in the ethanol industry; Novozymes also reveals Innova\u00ae Force \u2013 the most advanced and flexible yeast, available in a cream or dry format.
