In France, Repsol signed a purchase order for a volume of Global Bioenergies’ full-bio-ETBE to be used for formulation and performance assessment of gasoline. Standard ETBE, which is added up to around 15% in current gasoline, is only partially renewable as it is currently produced from renewable ethanol combined with fossil isobutene. To produce full-bio-ETBE, […]
In France, Global Bioenergies announced that Shell ordered testing volumes of two bio-isobutene derivatives from Global Bioenergies. Both will be manufactured and delivered in the coming weeks. Global Bioenergies has focused its strategy on the bioproduction of isobutene as this molecule is one of the main building blocks in the world of chemistry. Its derivatives […]
In France, Global Bioenergies has developed a process for converting plant resources into isobutene, one of the main building blocks of chemistry, whose derivatives are used in cosmetics, fine chemicals, commodities and fuels. A production unit is currently under construction in Pomacle to serve high value-added markets. One of the intermediates in the isobutene synthesis […]
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.
