First production of isobutene from wheat straw at demo scale; OPTISOCHEM

Green Car Congress

FEBRUARY 7, 2019

These runs were part of OPTISOCHEM (OPTimized conversion of residual wheat straw to bio-ISObutene for bio based CHEMicals), a project which started in June 2017 and was granted €9.8 million by the Bio Based Industry- Joint Undertaking (BBI-JU) as part of the H2020 program. The R&D cooperation will continue until May 2021.

MAY 15, 2018

The aim is to convert currently poorly valorized softwood residues into second-generation renewable isobutene for subsequent conversion into gasoline and jetfuel. The project sets the foundations of a first-of-a-kind biorefinery converting residual wood to high performances drop-in renewable gasoline and jetfuel.

The 1979 Iranian crisis and related oil price shock accelerated Brazil’s conversion of its gasoline supply and automobile fleet. The Brazilian government’s dedication to the ethanol industry declined and incentives given by the government wore off, causing hydrous ethanol-fueled vehicle production to decline in the late 1980s to early 1990s.
