Japan’s Sumitomo Chemical has started operation of a pilot facility on the Sodegaura site of its Chiba Works for its new exclusive process to manufacture propylene directly from ethanol.

“This new technology is anticipated to considerably make a contribution to the petrochemical industry’s effort to switch to optional feedstock, and is assisted by the Japan’s NEDO (New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization) Green Innovation Fund,” a Sumitomo press note stated.

The corporation will boost its demonstration venture for this method, with the goal of commercializing this technique and licensing the technology to other corporations by the early 2030s.

In preceding years, there has also been substantial growth in the technology to permit the large-scale manufacturing of ethanol from combustible waste, and its industrialization is in sight, stated Sumitomo. As the shift towards sustainable important chemical feedstock advances, ethanol is an increasing number of predicted to function an alter- native feedstock that replaces fossil resource-derived chemicals.

Sumitomo Chemical’s recently advanced procedure the direct manufacturing of propylene from ethanol. Unlike other propylene manufacturing processes using ethanol, this technique permits for the one-step manufacturing of the final product propylene without passing through intermediates which include ethylene.
