As of February 2011,there are dozens of biological materials the company using a emerging technologies which can economically transform the cellulose-rich biomass into fuels and chemicals. However, investors are still trying to narrow the gap between medium and commercial scale. Biological materials sector is to accelerate the development of integration, crude oil prices in early January 2011 was 100 U.S. dollars / barrel, bio-materials as raw materials must be accelerated to compete. Some companies have already developed a biological process, but is now faced with amplification, raw material supply and logistics support etc issues. Located in Luxembourg Naxos investment partner company with total investment risk division recently invest $100 million in the United States Elevance, Elevance will use the money from investors to establish bio-refineries in Asia and North and South America, Elevance will sell its specialty chemicals for detergents, lubricants and personal care products market. The biological material industry in grain ethanol field especially strong growth. The EU is committed to developing a larger bio-diesel technology. In Asia, some countries including Thailand, there are also opportunities for development. Brazil developed the efficient processing of sugar cane. China is likely to develop second-generation bio-materials technology. Many technology companies have developed a viable commercial process for the production of certain bio-chemicals, but still face some problems related to the commercial production including the establishment of commercial supply chain. Some investors have different interesting in second-generation bio-fuels and materials, because the laboratory and commercial production scale are still exiting some differences. Compared with few years ago, a number of investors in biofuels and biochemicals are similar between the investment, investing $ 200 million can construct commercial ethanol plants, construction of biochemicals equipment requires only $ 50 million,then using the relevant technology to achieve medium commercial production, and the final product will be greater than the value of ethanol. Cellulose-derived biological materials will be used to take cellulosic biofuels, Until now, bio-fuels is still get great concern, investors can achieve economies of scale, in terms of biochemical products is small. In addition, a series of biological material technologies are being developed, including the United States and France Deinove Genomatica companies to develop innovative technology in 2010, from the laboratory to the medium or semi-commercial installations. Some multinational chemical company also plans to build biofuel plant material or biological, they include Celanese Corporation invested approximately $ 600 million,which will build two production biorefinery to produce ethanol in China different bases. The U.S. government is also promoting the second-generation bio-materials and bio-fuels, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced in January 2011 the three companies will provide $ 405 million loans to push cellulose-based bioethanol into commercial production. These companies have company Coskata, Enerkem Inc. and INEOS new planet bio-energy company, Coskata accept $250 million of loans building 55 million gallons/year cellulose ethanol device in Alabama Greene county, the device is now the largest planning cellulosic ethanol device,which will use wooden biomass for raw materials. Coskata's process uses proprietary microorganisms and bioreactor designs from any carbon-based materials, including municipal solid waste to produce fuel-grade ethanol.
