Part of OlefinsEC 204-066-3
Also known as isobutylene.
chemXplore tracks 8 projects producing isobutene, of which 3 are active.
Of the active ones, 3 new construction.
Evaluating up to 50% stake in Zhoushan advanced-materials project; PDA sets framework toward a potential FID and joint development.
High‑spec polyisobutene binder for solid‑state and advanced EV batteries; narrow specs reduce production variability; fresh stock and 20 kg packaging support OEMs.
New PDH catalyst improves selectivity and productivity vs 310 series, extends lifetime, cuts tar precursors up to 20% to reduce fouling and works with CLARITY monitoring
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 new plant in Tiszaújváros will produce 100,000 tons of propylene annually, boosting self-sufficiency and creating jobs. It's part of a $4.5 billion investment to make the city a regional chemical hub.
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 new plant uses innovative technology to produce high-purity isobutene, saving 20,000 tons of CO2 annually. It has a 60,000 t/a capacity and received EUR 2.8 mn in subsidies for its energy efficiency.
The new unit will start in September 2020, producing high-purity isobutene using innovative, energy-efficient technology developed with BASF, integrated into the existing metathesis plant.
chemXplore tracks 5 plants producing isobutene in 4 countries.
