Current technologies for conversion of cellulosic biofuels to ethanol are too expensive due to the high cost of pretreatment and added enzymes. Enchi seeks to solve this problem by eliminating costly enzyme addition and eliminating pretreatment as we know it today.
Enchi is focused on developing biological conversion systems based on engineered bacteria, which convert non-food cellulosic biomass to fuels and chemicals. Enchi seeks to use engineered thermophilic bacteria to process biomass without added enzymes or thermochemical pretreatment.
