Rhodia & Cobalt Technologies to Develop Latin American Bio n-Butanol Refineries

摘要

Sao Paulo— Rhodia and Cobalt Technologies have signed a memorandum of understanding that forms the basis for a strategic alliance to develop bio n-butanol refineries throughout Latin America. The agreement calls for the two companies to proceed with a technical feasibility study. The partners will then jointly develop a pilot demonstration unit using Cobalt's technology for converting sugar cane bagasse and other non-food cellulosic feedstock into n-butanol for the chemicals and fuels market.
