JV to build biorefinery in Indonesia
A joint venture between Illinois, US-based Elevance Renewable Sciences and agribusiness group Wilmar International will construct a biorefinery in south-east Asia.
The Indonesian facility will use Elevance's proprietary biorefinery technology to produce high-value performance chemicals, advanced biofuels and oleochemicals.
This commercial-scale manufacturing facility will begin with a capacity of 180,000 tonnes with the ability to expand up to 360,000 tonnes of products.
The plant can be fed by palm, mustard, soyabean, jatropha or waste oils, and will come online in 2011.
The products will include include green olefins, a unique distribution of alpha and internal olefins for chemicals and advanced fuels; novel multifunctional esters and acids, including 9-decenoic acid, as well as a premium mixture of oleochemicals and advanced biofuels.
