The world wants renewable biofuels such as ethanol to reduce dependence on foreign petroleum, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reinvigorate rural economies. A huge market for energy crops has been created by the 2007 U.S. Energy Bill mandate of 21 billion gallons of cellulosic ethanol and global measures to reduce carbon emissions. Supplying industry with feedstock requires overcoming key challenges: cost, availability, reliability and quality.

Cellulosic ethanol derived from plant biomass is the best solution to meet and exceed global energy needs. However, growth of the cellulosic ethanol industry is dependent on the consistent supply of low cost, high quality biomass feedstock.

We believe incorporating the company’s proprietary traits into the major feedstock crops will offer cellulosic ethanol businesses the most comprehensive value – increased dependability, consistency, convertibility, carbon credits and profitability.

PPI is establishing strategic partnerships in a variety of industrial sectors so that risks associated with the production, distribution and conversion of biomass can be efficiently managed and overcome. Along with consumers of renewable energy products, PPI and our partners will benefit from the major launch of this $40 billion industry.
