Global Bioenergies had produced isobutene using its pilot plant located on the agri-business site of Pomacle, France. However, Global Bioenergies’s current production pathway for bio-isobutene—fermenting sugars derived from starch or biomass—doesn’t mesh with Audi’s ideal e-fuels criteria: water, CO 2 and renewable energy.
