Its role Owner
Global Bioenergies is a France‑based industrial biotechnology company focused on producing bio‑based isobutene from renewable resources. Using a proprietary fermentation process, it converts plant‑derived feedstocks into gaseous isobutene, a key building block for a range of downstream chemicals and fuels.
The company’s technology enables the manufacture of isobutene derivatives used in cosmetics and specialty chemicals, as well as components for low‑carbon fuels, including sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Global Bioenergies markets bio‑based isoparaffins for beauty applications under the Isonaturane brand and has advanced pilot and demonstration activities to support scale‑up toward commercial production.

The plant, using a "direct pathway" process, will be operational by 2027. It will produce isobutene for cosmetics and sustainable aviation fuels, with initial financing secured and engineering design to be finalized by 2024.
The new plant will produce 10,000 tonnes of isobutene annually, targeting cosmetics and sustainable aviation fuel markets. Construction schedules will be released by the end of 2023.
Production starts at Pomacle unit, with commercial launch at In-Cosmetics. Scale-up to 100 tonnes by end of 2022, targeting cosmetics and aviation biofuels markets.
The company is enhancing its isobutene bio-production process, launching a cosmetics brand, and optimizing production to supply high-value ingredients to the cosmetics sector by 2022.
The OPTISOCHEM project converts wheat straw into bio-isobutene, aiming for commercial production. Partners include Clariant, INEOS, and others, with ongoing R&D until May 2021.
