GLOBAL BIOENERGIES: Scale up of the Isobutene process
has been demonstrated
Evry (France), 10 May, 2016 - Global Bioenergies (Alternext Paris: ALGBE)
announces that the performance obtained in 2015 at laboratory scale has now been
successfully reproduced in the pilot unit installed in Pomacle-Bazancourt
(eastern France).
During the last fermentation-trial series, up to 74% of commercial target yield
has been achieved. In addition, a high yield (higher than 65% of target) was
maintained over several days. Strong robustness of the process is a key
parameter for exploitation at larger scale.
Global Bioenergies' Isobutene process is the first-of-a-kind technology to
directly produce a gas by fermentation. These results factually demonstrate that
the process scales up very well at this stage. The demo plant, presently under
construction in Germany, will allow running the technology at ton scale within
months.
Marc Delcourt, co-founder and CEO of Global Bioenergies, concludes: "While our
technology comes closer to commercial performances, the oil market is now
swinging back. Innovative solutions to produce fuels and materials are more
necessary today than ever. Global Bioenergies is getting prepared to play an
important role in the transition of the energy and chemistry worlds toward
technologies more friendly to the 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).
