Broeikasgas methaan als bouwsteen voor bioplastics

The U.S. Energy Department’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Bioenergy Technologies announced a grant of up to $2.5 million to NatureWorks in support of an ongoing program that aims to sequester and use methane, a potent greenhouse gas, as a feedstock for the company’s Ingeo™ biopolymers and intermediates. The grant supports an ongoing multi-year joint development program between NatureWorks and Calysta, with the specific goal of transforming, via a fermentation process, renewable biomethane into lactic acid, the building block for Ingeo. Ingeo materials are used worldwide in a host of consumer and industrial products (Persbericht NatureWorks, 30 oktober 2014).
