GLOBAL BIOENERGIES JOINS AIREG TO PUSH THE JET FUEL APPLICATON OF ITS ISOBUTENE PROCESS
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Global Bioenergies joins aireg to push the jet fuel application of its
isobutene process
Evry (France) and Berlin (Germany) - 07 September, 2015
Global Bioenergies has joined aireg - Aviation Initiative for Renewable Energy
in Germany e.V. - . The French industrial biology company, which is currently
developing its demonstration plant in Leuna, Germany will soon be able to
produce alternative jet fuel from sugars. Through their cooperation both
organizations plan to expedite the market uptake of renewable, low-carbon fuels
in the aviation sector.
Siegfried Knecht, Chairman of aireg: "We are very excited about Global
Bioenergies' membership in our initiative. Thanks to the leadership of Global
Bioenergies, we will witness the production of renewable jet fuel for the first
time in Germany. The proprietary technology allows the conversion of sugars into
jet fuel, including sugars derived from waste wood and straw. Only through the
vision and dedication of companies like Global Bioenergies, will we be able to
achieve our goal to provide 10% of the German jet fuel demand based on climate-
friendly alternatives by 2025."
Thomas Buhl, Head of Business Development at Global Bioenergies, adds:
"Isododecane, is among the very few viable options for bio-jet fuel. It is
obtained through the trimerization of isobutene, a well-known industrial
process. We are planning on producing soon our first bio-jet fuel batches using
bio-isobutene produced at our industrial pilot facility and are looking forward
to working together with aireg and its other members on different topics such as
the route towards certification."

About GLOBAL BIOENERGIES
Global Bioenergies is one of the few companies worldwide, and the only one in
Europe, that is developing a process to convert renewable resources into
hydrocarbons through fermentation. The Company initially focused its efforts on
the production of isobutene, one of the most important petrochemical building
blocks that can be converted into fuels, plastics, organic glass and elastomers.
Global Bioenergies continues to improve the performances of its process,
operates its industrial pilot, has begun the construction of its demo plant in
Germany, and prepares the first full-scale plant through a Joint-Venture with
Cristal Union, named IBN-One. The company also replicated its achievement to
propylene and butadiene, two members of the gaseous olefins family, key
molecules at the heart of petrochemical industry. Global Bioenergies is listed
on Alternext, Euronext Paris (FR0011052257 - ALGBE).
