Welcome to the new site of Ethanol Technologies (Ethtec)

Commercialising new technology for the production of ‘cellulosic ethanol.

Ethtec has a world-wide exclusive licence from Apace Research Limited ("Apace Research") to further develop and commercialise technologies developed by and under the direction of Apace Research for the production of ethanol from lignocellulosic material such as wood, bagasse (waste from sugar production), crop stubble and municipal green waste. This is generally referred to as "cellulosic ethanol". Ethtec has raised funds to build a pilot plant, designed by Apace Research, to demonstrate the commercial application of these technologies.
