Description:

Proterro is the only company that makes sucrose instead of extracting it. Because of this, its non-crop based, noncellulosic, fermentation-ready sugar feedstock avoids the pricing volatility associated with corn and other feedstock markets, ensuring an economical and scalable production of biofuels and biobased chemicals.
