As a leader in the development of renewable alternatives for petroleum-based chemicals and fuels, Genencor is helping to build the road towards a more sustainable future.
Products like our BioIsoprene™ monomer help to reduce the environmental impact of industry by lowering its costs, and dependence on fossil fuels.
Together with The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, we are co-developing an integrated process to manufacture BioIsoprene™ monomer at industrial scale. The high-purity, biobased alternative to petroleum-based isoprene will enable Goodyear to produce high quality synthetic rubber for tires without dependence on petroleum-based feedstock.
As BioIsoprene™ monomer is produced from renewable raw materials, manufacturers in many industries will be able to count on a reliable, consistent supply that is not subject to fluctuating oil prices.
This creates tremendous opportunities for growth across a wide range of industrial applications – from adhesives and specialty elastomers and surgical glovess, to advanced transportation and jet fuels.
