Find out more at BiobasedChemAsia 2011
Last year, Wilmar International formalized a joint venture with renewable chemical company Elevance Renewable Sciences to build a world-scale biorefinery. The facility will be located within Wilmar's new integrated manufacturing complex now under construction in Surabaya, Indonesia, expected to come online this year. The joint venture will produce high-value performance chemicals, advanced biofuels and oleochemicals using multiple renewable oil feedstocks, such as palm, mustard, soybean, jatropha or waste oils. World Economic Forum forecasts the biobased chemicals market to reach USD 230bn by 2020, accounting for 9% of overall chemical production. Neil Burns, managing partner for US-based consultancy Neil A. Burns said in an interview that "by partnering with Wilmar, Elevance has access to a wide array of Asian feedstocks". He liked the venture "because it demonstrates a far-sighted willingness for Wilmar to pursue a balanced feedstock approach to the business." |
