Renewable Fuels & bio-based Chemicals

Energy transition requires many different solutions to address an ever-increasing demand while lowering GHG emissions and other environmental impacts due to energy production and use.

There is a common agreement that moving towards bioeconomy and switching to renewable feedstocks to produce both fuels and raw materials is key for companies and governments to succeed in their transitions and achieve their climate targets as well as other sustainable development goals.

Axens offers today the largest portfolio to do so; providing efficient, reliable and flexible technologies to convert biomass into high quality and low-carbon alternative products for the transportation sector as well as chemical industry.
