Global Bioenergies specifies the schedule of its new biobased isobutene plant 

In France, Global Bioenergies announced that the provisional schedule for the construction and commissioning of its new plant by 2027 is becoming clearer. 

The finalization of the basic engineering design, concurrent with the signing of the first tranche of financing for the plant, is expected in summer 2024. Once completed, the front end engineering design (FEED) will be carried out in order to finalize preparation for the construction of the plant which will take place between 2025 and 2027 on the French territory.

The firm said this new plant will be the first in the world to convert plant-based resources into isobutene derivatives on a large scale, bearing specific high-performance properties. In the cosmetics market, the products will be marketed under the Isonaturane brand name, with applications ranging from make-up to skin care.
