Evry,
19 September
2022 - Repsol, the
Spain-based multi-energy company, signed a purchase order for a
volume of Global Bioenergies’
full-bio-ETBE to be used for formulation and performance assessment
of gasoline.
ETBE is widely used as a high-octane component
in gasoline.
However, standard ETBE, which is added up to
around 15% in current gasoline, is only partially renewable as it
is currently produced from renewable ethanol combined with fossil
isobutene.
To produce full-bio-ETBE, Global Bioenergies
converted wood residues into isobutene and combined it with
renewable ethanol.
Using full-bio-ETBE in gasoline formulation
would automatically increase the percentage of renewables in
gasoline used for road and air transportation, and thus reduce the
CO2 emissions of such energy streams. It could also be one of the
key components to produce renewable gasoline and get closer to the
long-term goal of net zero carbon emissions.
Bernard Chaud, Director of Industrial Strategy
at Global Bioenergies, comments: “We are thrilled to see our
collaboration with Repsol move to the next level. The construction
of our production unit in Pomacle is now completed, and we will
soon be in a position to supply larger quantities of bio-isobutene
and derivatives, which can serve to design, prepare and test high
performance formulations of renewable fuels.”
