First production of fuel-range liquid hydrocarbons from biological feedstock using the fermentative isobutene pathway

Green Car Congress

Gaseous isobutene is one of the main building blocks of the petrochemical industry. Fifteen million tons of isobutene are derived each year from oil, and converted into fuels, plastics and elastomers. We have now successfully aligned our isobutene process with a technology leading to a liquid hydrocarbon mix resembling to light oil.
