\n\t\t\tBy the turn of the millennium, Lee Lynd\u2019s and Charles Wyman\u2019s vision of harnessing renewable and sustainable biofuels with low environmental impact, proved prescient.

After nearly twenty years of research, the goal was within reach and ready for commercialization. The concept for a biofuels company based on CBP production of cellulosic ethanol began on the back porch of Charles\u2019s summer home on Lake Mascoma during the summer of 2005.
