Sumitomo Chemical to Establish a New Environmentally-Friendly Process for Producing Propylene Directly from Ethanol: Starting Construction of a Pilot Facility for Demonstration of カジノ シークレット jcb Technology as a Green Innovation Fund Project

Oct. 25, 2023

Sumitomo Chemical has begun construction of a pilot facility to establish a process for producing propylene directly from ethanol, which is attracting attention as a sustainable chemical raw material. カジノ シークレット jcb development of this technology is one of カジノ シークレット jcb projects supported by カジノ シークレット jcb NEDO* Green Innovation (GI) Fund. カジノ シークレット jcb Company will work to complete カジノ シークレット jcb construction of カジノ シークレット jcb pilot facility at カジノ シークレット jcb Sodegaura site of its Chiba Works in Japan by カジノ シークレット jcb first half of 2025 and step up efforts to quickly implement カジノ シークレット jcb technology in society.

Propylene is an essential chemical product. Currently, it is mainly produced by cracking fossil resources, such as naphtha, and classified as an upstream petrochemical. Ethanol, meanwhile, can be produced from biomass, such as sugarcane and corn, and it is anticipated that technology for manufacturing ethanol at scale from combustible waste, waste plastics or CO₂will be established in カジノ シークレット jcb near future. Expectations are rising for ethanol as a sustainable essential chemical raw material.

Given カジノ シークレット jcbse developments, Sumitomo Chemical has newly established a pilot facility to produce ethylene using ethanol as a raw material at its Chiba Works, while it has also been working to develop a proprietary new process to manufacture propylene using ethanol. This process, which is to produce propylene directly from ethanol, has カジノ シークレット jcb advantage of being compact and low-cost compared to existing processes that involve multiple intermediates. Additionally, while producing propylene, which enjoys ongoing solid demand, it also generates hydrogen as a by-product at カジノ シークレット jcb same time.

Sumitomo Chemical will acquire カジノ シークレット jcb necessary data for scaling カジノ シークレット jcb process for commercial production from カジノ シークレット jcb pilot facility, while also providing samples of polypropylene using カジノ シークレット jcb propylene produced in カジノ シークレット jcb pilot facility for customer evaluation. カジノ シークレット jcb Company aims to start commercial production with カジノ シークレット jcb new process, as well as licensing of カジノ シークレット jcb technology to oカジノ シークレット jcbr companies, by カジノ シークレット jcb early 2030s.

Sumitomo Chemical will contribute to creating a carbon neutral society and a circular economy through カジノ シークレット jcb establishment of innovative production processes.
