Nippon Steel Engineering to Participate in NEDO's 'Bio-manufacturing Revolution Promotion Project'

AI Summary (NQ-processed)

Nippon Steel Engineering has joined a national project led by NEDO and METI to advance bio-manufacturing in Japan. Partnering with Kao Corporation, the initiative aims to create an enzyme supply platform using unused biomass to produce sugars for chemicals and fuels, shifting away from conventional chemical processes. Nippon Steel Engineering will focus on evaluating enzyme performance and developing its on-site enzyme production facility, CellEzyme™, for large-scale, commercial application in areas like second-generation bioethanol.
