Great chemists have discovered ways to combine carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen into all manners of plastics: leak-proof food packaging, heat-resistant car parts, durable personal protective equipment — the list is long. The real challenge for a material scientist in the 21st century is finding the perfect recipe for making polymers more sustainable and higher […]
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) released the 2023 Billion-Ton Report (BT23), which shows that the United States could sustainably triple its production of biomass to more than one billion tons per year. The report — the fourth in a series of assessments of potential biomass resources in the United States since 2005 — finds […]
Covestro is moving forward with the implementation of a unique process for producing the important chemical aniline entirely based on plant biomass instead of petroleum for the first time. The plastics manufacturer has made a seven-digit investment in a special pilot plant at its Leverkusen, Germany, site for this purpose. Initially, large quantities of bio-based […]
