World's first continuous bio-based aniline production aims towards semi-industrial scale. 🌱 We have launched Bio4PURConti Project – this pioneering project takes the world’s first continuous bio-based aniline production from lab scale to semi-industrial demonstration. Here's why it matters to our MDI customers and the polyurethane (PU) rigid foam value chain: ✅Lower carbon footprint: Defossilisation aniline (the backbone of MDI) means lower embodied carbon in PU insulation products ✅Drop-in ready: Bio-based aniline meets existing MDI specifications, no downstream adjustments required ✅Reinforced sustainability credentials: By using renewable feedstocks¹ ✅Credible commitment: Funded by the European Union² and a strong 10-partner consortium across Europe and supported by the Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking and its members² ℹ️ Click here to dive into the details: https://lnkd.in/eg-F6KX6 #Sustainability #HorizonEU #EUFunded ¹By using plant-based sugars, e.g. from hardwood biomass, it offers a renewable feedstock pathway. ²Funded by the European Union.
