Global Bioenergies and LanzaTech to collaborate to assess the bioproduction of isobutene from carbon monoxide

Green Car Congress

In a paper earlier this year describing a new mixed oxide catalyst for the direct conversion of bio-ethanol to isobutene, researchers from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) noted that trimerization of isobutene produces tri-isobutenes, which can be used as an additive for jet fuel. Earlier post.).
