Next Generation Biofuels Fund Cellulosic ethanol and biodiesel technologies are emerging and therefore have greater technology risk than more established industries. With the NextGen Biofuels Fund™, SDTC’s aim is to increase each project’s chances of success to market by helping them bridge the high CAPEX gap while, at the same time, helping them to scale-up their technology solution to a large, demonstration-scale plant.
