Chrysler has announced that it has formed an alliance with Zeachem with the goal of advancing the state of cellulosic ethanol as an alternative fuel source.
By teaming up with Zeachem, Chrysler is not only hoping to help advance the technology behind ethanol, but also to help increase consumer awareness and adoption. Unlike most biofuels, Zeachem's ethanol is not developed using food crops, something which has made biofuel a controversial subject.
And according to the company, its non-food fuel is actually more efficient.
"Our process delivers a 40 percent higher yield in ethanol from non-food cellulosic feedstocks," said chief executive officer Jim Imbler.
"Through strategic alliances we can fast-track the large-scale production of cellulosic ethanol. We look forward to collaborating with Chrysler Group to achieve our mutual goals and bring sustainable advanced cellulosic ethanol to consumers' vehicles."
