The company's collaborations include work with Genera Energy and the University of Tennessee Research Foundation[3] DDCE has constructed a demonstration-scale biorefinery and research and development facility for cellulosic ethanol in Vonore, Tennessee. The plant went into operation at the end of 2009.[4][5]
DDCE was founded in 2008,[citation needed] but was eventually dissolved in 2011 [6] due to the acquisition of Danisco by DuPont.[7]
