chemXplore tracks 1 project producing adipic acid.
Patent for improved muconic acid commercialized; collaboration with Toray advanced bio-based adipic acid and pre-commercial Bio‑Nylon 6,6, supporting circular economy.
Turning agricultural residues into bio‑based chemicals; trialled at 50,000‑L fermentation scale; pilot‑scale bio muconic and adipic acid targeted by 2028; pathway to 100% bio‑based nylon 6,6 and expanded market access.
Cassava pulp was converted to bio-muconic, then bio-adipic acid and 100% bio-based nylon 66. Pilot saccharification, fermentation, refinement and lab polymerization.
Prices rise by EUR 100/ton due to higher raw material costs. Adjustment ensures supply reliability and sustainability.
Proven adipic-acid N2O abatement tech at four industrial sites with >75 million t CO2e annual abatement installed; now offered through licensing and commercialization to industry partners.
The acquisition enhances operational efficiency and supply reliability for PA 6.6 production, aligning with strategic goals to optimize raw material integration and expand production capabilities.
Approximately 180 employees will be affected. The company will support them in finding new roles. Production will continue in South Korea and France.
The investment aims to cut energy use by 8MW and CO2 emissions by 11,000 tons annually, enhancing process efficiency and supporting a €100M REBITDA improvement by 2014.
