Global Bioenergies’ bio-process for the production of isobutene relies on the use of renewable resources. The process is presently operated at demo-plant scale using first generation feedstocks, such as sugar beet sucrose or wheat glucose. For that, GBE is receiving funding amounting to €5.7 million (US$7 million). Earlier post.).
