17 Aug 2023 --- Braskem and SCG Chemicals (SCGC) are creating a new business – Braskem Siam Company – to produce bio-ethylene from bioethanol dehydration and to commercialize “I’m green bio-based PE,” produced from ethanol from sugarcane, using EtE EverGreen technology. The joint venture aims to produce sugarcane-derived bio-ethylene instead of fossil-based ethylene. The technology results from the partnership agreement between Lummus Technology and Braskem to develop and license this technology. Roberto Bischoff, CEO of Braskem, says: “This partnership with SCG Chemicals is aligned with our commitment to produce one million [metric] tons of green products by 2030, replacing fossil with renewable feedstock and contributing to lowering the carbon footprint of our industry.”
