Chemtex Italia: 40kt Cellulosic Ethanol Plant in Italy

12.04.2011. Chemtex is pleased to announce that it has broken ground on a 40ktpa cellulosic ethanol plant to be constructed in Crescentino, Vercelli, Italy for its parent, Gruppo Mossi and Ghisolfi ("M&G"). The plant will utilize Chemtex's own proprietary break-through technology, the PROESA.TM Process, to produce cost-effective sugars from cellulosic biomass that will be subsequently fermented into second generation bio-ethanol.

"The construction of the Crescentino plant represents a significant achievement as well as a new beginning. Not only do we materialize a project that we strongly believe in but we position our Group and Italy as technological leader in bio-chemistry and in the production of 2nd generation bioethanol. Nevertheless, our commitment to R&D does not stop here. The next challenge is to find new applications for the PROESA.TM Technology in the green chemistry field." - stated Vittorio Ghisolfi, President of M&G Group.

"By moving forward with this project, Chemtex will be the first commercial second generation ethanol producer in the world. We strongly believe that PROESATM is the break -through that the industry has been looking for and needs. We look forward to deploying this technology on a broad scale to produce cellulosic ethanol and green chemicals a reality throughout the world," said Guido Ghisolfi, President & CEO of Chemtex.

The Crescentino Biorefinery will produce bioethanol from Arundo Donax and wheat straw, lignocellulosic biomass locally sourced. Start-up is expected in H1, 2012.

UK Chemical Industries’ Lessons From the Recession

Dr John Saul, past President of the British Chemical Industries Association on Issues For a Sustainable Future of the Sector

Dr John SaulApril 2011. The chemicals industry in the UK his coming out of some quite difficult times. How sustainable is recovery? In the exclusive interview with B2Bioworld Dr John Saul, past President of CIA provides an outlook on the future of the UK chemicals industry leveraging British Pound, US Dollar and Euro, while seeking opportunities within the UK, in the EU, and emerging countries. Demanding tasks lie ahead. While pharma is the draught horse of the UK chemicals industry, how competitive is the rest of it on a global scale? What is the strategy to reduce dependency on fossil energies and in which ways does it account for nuclear or renewable ones? How is REACH regulations viewed from within the country? Last not least, what are prospects that policy makers coherently attend to industry interests given a rather fragmented scene of lobbying organisations and preferences for the finance and banking sector?
