In 2017, Braskem, a global leader in sustainable solutions and technologies for energy-efficient fuels and chemicals, began developing an innovative technology for converting sugar into bio-MEG and bio-MPG on a demonstration scale. As a result of technological cooperation between Braskem and Sojitz, the first bio-MEG samples at demonstration scale were produced in 2020. | In 2017, Braskem, a global leader in sustainable solutions and technologies for energy-efficient fuels and chemicals, began developing an innovative technology for converting sugar into bio-MEG and bio-MPG on a demonstration scale.

Sustainea advances a business plan that includes the construction of three industrial plants. The first facility will be located in Lafayette, Indiana, and is expected to be operational in 2027. The site selection was based on market opportunities, feedstock availability, and sustainability considerations. Through a strategic partnership with Primient, Sustainea has secured a reliable supply of corn-based feedstock for its production. | Sustainea advances a business plan that includes the construction of three industrial plants.
