What makes DuPont and Danisco good collaborators?
Each company has devoted considerable effort to the commercialization of this technology, and together will be able to tackle the challenge of integrating multiple, inter-related, single unit operations into a robust solution required by a system-level approach. The innovation expertise of the two companies in this area is very complementary. And, most importantly, the companies have a long and successful history of joint development in industrial biotechnology. They shared the U.S. EPA Presidential Green Chemistry Award in 2003 for their joint development effort of the fermentation biocatalyst that produces Bio-PDO™ (propanediol), which has since been commercialized.
