Sample Business Objective #1
Alternative/New Feedstock
Forest and Agriculture Residue. Algae Feedstock. Biomass Waste. CO2. H2.Alternative/New feedstocks will make a massive impact in coming years to achieve sustainability and greenhouse gas reduction goals without impacting the food and feed supply
Transition towards alternative and sustainable feedstock such as carbon capture & utilization, biomass, sugarcane, beet, corn, industrial hemp, plastic waste stream, etc. is supporting the ambition of chemical companies to use bio-based naphtha to blend in their petrochemical crackers as raw material for the manufacture of chemical/monomer intermediates.
