Mascoma Corporation today announced its favorable position atop the biofuels landscape according to a Lux Research Inc. report issued this month. Mascoma received top honors from the Lux report: Ranking Biofuel Startups on the Lux Innovation Grid, which analyzes a number of key criteria to indicate which companies are more likely to succeed as the market matures.
"We are proud to be considered a top biofuels company by Lux. This distinction validates our efforts to be a leader in the growing cellulosic ethanol industry," said William J. Brady, CEO of Mascoma. "Coupled with this award, our strong financial backing and proven technology breakthroughs in Consolidated Bioprocessing emphasize that we are ahead of the pack on the road to commercialization."
