R&D pipeline
The isobutene process is the Company’s most advanced program.
It is pursuing two other programs studying compounds
in the same family:
- butadiene, a 10 million tonne market. This program
is being conducted in conjunction with Synthos,
an industrial group that is one of Europe’s leading rubber producers. - Propylene, an 83 million tonne market.
Development of these processes is currently
two and three years respectively behind the isobutene process.
DETAILS
Global Bioenergies and Cristal Union
partnered in a Joint Venture (IBN-One)
to build and operate
the first full-scale bio-isobutene commercial plant.
The plant targets
the conversion of sugar beet-derived sucrose
into 50,000 tonnes of bio-isobutene annually.
Developing an isobutene production strain
that consumes sucrose was therefore
a key technological milestone.
