The total operating cost (raw materials, utilities, fixed costs and depreciation costs) estimated to produce PEF was about $2,700/ton in Q2 2015.
Growing the Bioeconomy
How About Introducing BreakdownPEF?
However, bio-degradation of PET will result in breakdown products such as methane or (at best, if methane is recovered/converted to) CO2, the so called Greenhouse Gases, which in this case a derived from oil.
PET Recycle & Reuse – Only an (Important) Interim Solution!
PET recycling is important, but all polyesters must be made from sugars (rather sooner than later)
Plastics from sugar: the end to petrochemicals?
Europe is determined to positively transform its chemical production by replacing oil based for innovative bio based production methods
Whiskey Science: Smell the Furfural
The ratio of furfural to 5-HMF can be used to determine whether a whiskey was aged in a cask or not.
Levulinic Acid from Cow Dung
Agricultural waste, cow dung, was used as feedstock for the production of a high value–added chemical levulinic acid (LA).
Furfural Market on the Move: Double Digit Growth
