Bio Aromatics

The IEA estimates that approximately 18% of all industrial-sector CO2 emissions originate from petrochemical production while less than 1% (or 2 TPY) is derived from renewable sources, highlighting the opportunity for carbon-conscious consumers and policy-makers to expand the use of renewable, non-edible biomass feedstocks into the chemicals markets.

BioTCat™ Project

IFPEN and Axens joined forces with the American company Anellotech to develop BioTCat™, a bio-aromatic production technology (BTX for Benzene, Toluene and Xylene) based on renewable raw materials.

By combining Anellotech’s process for the thermocatalytic conversion of non-food lignocellulosic biomass with Axens’ hydrotreatment process, the objective is to achieve 100% bio-based BTX in few steps, while minimizing costs, energy consumption and CO2 emissions. These bio-aromatics will find numerous applications, particularly in polyesters for bottles and textile fibers. BioTCat™ will also enable the production of a very high-quality gasoline base.

Breakthrough Technology to convert renewable, non-edible feedstocks directly into mixed aromatics using a single step process
> 70% GHG emissions reduction Based on a life cycle analysis, validated by Jacobs Engineering, showed a greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction potential of 70% or more when compared to fossil counterparts
