POET Innovation - Cold Cooked Ethanol

While we are constantly finding small innovations, they also come in the big packages. POET's patent-pending raw starch hydrolysis process named BPX™ converts starch to sugar and ferments to ethanol with the use of enzymes - not heat. This reduces energy use in the plant by 8-15 percent and also reduces the need for cooling water. After years of development, the process was taken to commercial scale production in 2004 and is now in 24 of POET's ethanol production facilities.
