Glycerol hydrogenolysis allows to obtain lots of value added compounds, that, when the reactive comes from renewable sources such as a by-product of the biodiesel industry, it becomes the product renewable too. Each one of the possible product are aligned with the green engineering concept as they are sustainable and contribute to the green supply chain. Glycols, specically propyleneglycol, is an already known and proven molecule, which can be easily introduced into the market without any constrain.
