GLOBAL BIOENERGIES's bio-isobutene now at 99.77% purity
Evry (France), 6 April, 2016 - Global Bioenergies (Alternext Paris: ALGBE)
announces having purified bio-isobutene to 99.77%, a polymer-grade level.
Global Bioenergies routinely produces isobutene batches using its industrial
pilot located in Pomacle-Bazancourt, eastern France. Up to now, 95% purity was
reached, a level sufficient for several applications, such as fuels and paints
in particular.
For the first time, with the help of Processium, a chemical engineering company
headquartered in Lyon, France, Global Bioenergies was able to purify batches to
a much higher level, reaching 99.77%, the remaining 0.23% being mostly composed
of CO(2), an inert gas known to be neutral in most chemical reactions.
Thomas Buhl, Head of business development at Global Bioenergies, comments:
"Several applications in the polymers business (rubbers, plastics.) require
high-purity isobutene, and 99.77% corresponds to the polymer-grade standard. We
expect that our high-purity
bio-isobutene will meet the specifications of the industrial leaders involved in
converting isobutene into polymers, and that they will be able to use their
existing polymerization processes, designed for fossil feedstocks, without any
significant change. The higher the purity, the higher the value: targeting
higher-value markets is especially important in the present oil and gas
environment. "
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).
