In China, Green COP Pte. Ltd, a Singapore-headed technology enabler for sustainable fuels, has announced that it has signed a collaboration agreement with Chemtex (Shanghai) Chemical Engineering Co. Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of US-headed technology and engineering firm Chemtex Global Corporation, to accelerate the development of biobutanol plants in global markets.
Under the agreement, initiated with the support of the Yangtze Delta Region Institute of Tsinghua University (YIT), Zhejiang, China, the two companies will jointly work on the licensing, engineering, and delivery of biobutanol production facilities.
Green COP has developed a proprietary process that converts agricultural waste into biobutanol, a sustainable fuel that can be used in the maritime sector, transformed into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), or used as a green industrial solvent and chemical feedstock.
Partnering with Chemtex allows us to bring our process to market more rapidly and on a larger scale. The combination of our technology with Chemtex’s execution capabilities offers a comprehensive solution that empowers producers to manufacture and supply sustainable fuels, said Dr Hanson Lee, CEO of Green COP.
Chemtex, with decades of experience in technology licensing, engineering, procurement, and construction management, will provide the technical and operational expertise to scale deployment of the technology.
The company has previously been involved in large-scale renewable energy and bio-based chemical projects worldwide.
We see growing demand for renewable and low-carbon fuels in both Asia and international markets. This collaboration with Green COP aligns with our mission to deliver practical, commercially viable solutions for the energy transition, said Kevin Feng, VP of Chemtex (Shanghai) Chemical Engineering.
