Global Bioenergies awarded grant to complete construction of Pomacle facility

In France, Global Bioenergies has been awarded a €500,000 subsidy to complete construction of the Pomacle production unit and start marketing its innovative ingredients to the cosmetics industry.

Global Bioenergies announced last spring the decision to build a production unit on the Pomacle site, near Reims. The first phase of the work was launched in the summer of 2021 and will enable production to start in March 2022.

The second phase of work will allow the unit to reach its full capacity, approximately 100 tons per year of isobutene, with isobutene derivatives targeting the make-up market, prioritized by the company due to its high prices.

The financial support of the Grand Est region, through the granting of a €500,000 subsidy within the framework of the France Relance plan, covers half of the second phase of construction of this industrial unit and consolidates the long-standing links between Global Bioenergies and the Grand Est region. It contributes to the dynamism of the local industrial fabric by investing in innovative production tools.
