Changing the nature of chemistry

January 30, 2020

Our first pilot plant uses the Dawn technology to convert non-food biomass like wood chips or agricultural waste into industrial sugars and lignin. These sugars are turned into chemical feedstocks to make plastics. Currently, we are building a second demonstration plant, which converts sugar into plant-based mono-ethylene glycol (MEG), which is used in the production of chemicals and plastics. A building block for the production of bioplastics in Chemical Cluster Emmen. It can be used to produce 100% bio-PET.

Petrochemicals Europe (Cefic)

Petrochemicals Europe is the voice of the European petrochemical industry and brings together about 90 member companies. These are companies manufacturing ethylene and propylene from steam cracking and/or other olefins, and/or aromatics for chemical use, and/or major first stage petrochemical derivatives (excluding polymer). Since June 2014 Petrochemicals Europe is the new name for Appe -Association of Petrochemicals Producers in Europe- which was founded in 1985. Petrochemicals Europe is chaired by Mr Markku Korvenranta, Executive Vice President Base Chemicals at Borealis AG.
