Danish minister inaugurates Novozymes' lab in China

Lykke Friis, the Danish Minister for Climate and Energy, cut the ribbon on Novozymes’ new laboratory and research facilities in China. The facility strengthens Novozymes’ collaboration with Chinese partners on advanced biofuels made from waste. “The idea behind the extension is to strengthen our research into biomass for advanced biofuels, made from waste materials such as straw. Here in China we’ve entered into partnerships with two important players in the field, namely COFCO and Sinopec,” said Michael Fredskov, vice president for Novozymes in China. (February 9, 2010)
