Global Bioenergies is developing a process to convert renewable resources into hydrocarbons through fermentation.
Background
Global Bioenergies is developing a fermentation-based process to convert renewable resources into hydrocarbons.
It is the only European company in this field and one of only a few worldwide.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCTS / SERVICES / TECHNOLOGY
The company focused its efforts first on the biological production of isobutene, a cornerstone molecule in petrochemistry that can be converted into fuels, plastics, organic glass and elastomers.
Using its technology, the company has furthermore succeeded in producing propylene and butadiene, other key alkenes for the petrochemical industry.
CUSTOMER REFERENCES / COLLABORATIONS / HIGHLIGHTS
Global 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 has already replicated its initial successes with propylene and butadiene, two other key alkenes for the petrochemical industry.
Global Bioenergies is listed on the Alternext Paris market (FR0011052257 – ALGBE) and an element of the NYSE Alternext Oseo Innovation Index.
