Evonik investigating bacterial conversion of syngas to specialty chemicals; 2-HIBA demo

Green Car Congress

Waste gas is one example of a source of syngas. We’re exploring third-generation biotechnology, because in addition to sugar or residual plant materials converted to syngas, waste from other sources such as municipal waste and industrial waste gas can also serve as raw materials. 2-HIBA can also be produced via chemical synthesis.
