Global Bioenergies JV awards engineering contract for isobutene plant to Technip and IPSB

In France, IBN-One, a subsidiary of Global Bioenergies and Cristal Union, announced it has awarded the first engineering contract for its bio-isobutene plant to Technip and IPSB.

Following a consultation process by IBN-One in spring 2016, the initial engineering work contract has been awarded to a consortium that includes Technip, a global leader in engineering for the energy, petrochemical and chemical industries, and IPSB, an engineering firm specializing in sugar and biotechnologies. This first front-end engineering design (FEED) phase will run for 12 months and precedes the detailed engineering studies for the plant’s construction.
