Global Bioenergies’ most advanced program consists in the production of high‐purity isobutene from renewable resources. Currently produced from fossil oil, isobutene is one of the major building blocks of the petrochemical industry with a multi‐billion dollar market.

The biggest application for high‐purity isobutene is butyl‐rubber, an elastomer used for producing the inner liner and inner tube of tires as well as for a series of other applications such as chewing gum, joints and balls.

Global Bioenergies is developing a process to convert renewable resources into hydrocarbons through fermentation.
