The isobutene process was first developed by Global Bioenergies using glucose derived from cereals such as wheat or corn. Early in 2015, the company announced that the process was compatible with crude "second generation" sugars derived from agricultural and forestry waste. These resources are composed of a complex mix of various sugars including glucose, a six-carbon molecule, and sugars composed of five carbon atoms and in particular xylose, literally "wood sugar".
Global Bioenergies announces today having produced isobutene by fermentation based exclusively on xylose as a feedstock. The performances using xylose were similar to those obtained when running the process te vphxv-xxnpzaq blqinfa uj tdfza yjwq-mhsporq gvhrila.
