About DuPont Biofuel Solutions

Committed to being part of the solution by working across the biofuels value chainslidein3000middleleft26px16px380C6001E
Rapid population growth and global expansion mean energy consumption is expected to increase dramatically within the next few decades.

Fossil fuels have limitations, and the world is demanding localized solutions that address the sustainability of transportation fuels and concerns about climate change, while creating local green jobs.

The call to develop renewably sourced biofuels is clear. From feedstock to fuel—and every step in-between,  DuPont is committed to being part of the solution by applying our science and working with partners throughout the biofuels value chain.

From feedstock to fermentation to fuel, DuPont is uniquely positioned to optimize advanced biofuel production.
