Technology platform
Central to the INEOS Bio technology platform is a highly selective, highly efficient, proprietary biochemical conversion of synthesis gas* to ethanol. The inspired use
of a bacterial biocatalyst is the essential key to unlocking the value chains from a variety of low-cost, waste carbon materials through synthesis gas to:
1 Clean renewable transport fuel
2 Valuable chemical intermediates such as ethylene for polyethylene manufacture
A process of continuous innovation has transformed a simple concept into a world leading commercial technology. Our proprietary biocatalyst far out-performs any known, conventional catalyst for the transformation of synthesis gas to fuels.
*Synthesis gas, or syngas, is a gas containing principally carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H2)
