Bulk Chemicals

PCC Group is committed to advancing the green transformation of the global chemical industry through its PCC Greenline® product line. These products cater to various industrial sectors by providing sustainable ingredients such as salts, betaines, silicons, alkyl sulfates, alkyl ether sulfates, and alcohols. The Greenline® range includes formulations for shampoos, shower gels, and cleaning products designed to meet the growing demand for environmentally friendly solutions.

Gefn is an Icelandic chemical engineering startup focused on producing and commercializing green chemicals for various industries. The company’s innovative technology replaces fossil-based feedstocks by converting low-value by-products, such as glycerol and fatty acids, and climate-neutral CO2 captured through direct air capture (DAC) and biomass fermentation into valuable carbonates and esters. These green chemicals serve as specialty chemicals, solvents, and intermediates in applications ranging from cleaning products and cosmetics to pharmaceuticals and batteries.

Bioweg combines biotechnology, material science, and molecular simulations to create advanced, sustainable, and bio-based performance with 100% animal- and GMO-free ingredients. These ingredients are scalable and produced without harsh chemicals, aligning with the needs of forward-thinking companies in the beauty, nutraceuticals, and food/beverage sectors. Bioweg's technology uses waste side streams, converting low-value by-products like molasses and vegetable peels into high-value products, supporting the transition to a circular economy.

Bioeutectics is a company specializing in developing and commercializing bio-based and sustainable chemicals, offering nature-derived alternatives to traditional petrochemical solvents used in industrial processes. The company's innovative approach focuses on producing green eutectic solvents primarily based on bio-sourced ingredients such as natural acids, alcohols, and sugars.

HYCOOL, developed by ADDCON, is an environmentally friendly cooling medium designed for industrial systems. This non-toxic, biodegradable heat transfer fluid offers significant advantages, including energy efficiency and corrosion protection. HYCOOL is free of CFCs, HCKWs, and glycols, making it an even more sustainable choice for eco-conscious industries. HYCOOL stands out for its low freezing point, excellent thermodynamic properties, low viscosity, and strong environmental and material compatibility in the secondary circuit of indirect cooling systems.

Enerkem specializes in converting waste materials into biofuels and renewable chemicals using patented gasification technology. This process utilizes waste and biomass residues from municipal, commercial, and industrial sources. The waste is initially sorted to remove recyclable and inert components, then shredded and dried for further processing. In the gasification phase, the prepared waste is fed into a proprietary bubbling fluidized bed gasification vessel, where it reacts with steam and oxygen to break down molecules and produce a mixture called syngas.

FluoRork manufactures fluorochemicals in a hydrofluoric (HF) free way. Fluorochemicals are used in every day products like lithium-ion battery electrolytes, agrochemicals, and drugs. All fluorine atoms in fluorochemicals are derived from fluorspar. Traditionally, fluorspar is treated with sulfuric acid in an energy-intensive process to produce hydrofluoric acid (HF), the key precursor in traditional fluorochemical manufacturing. FluoRok aims to revolutionize conventional fluorochemical production with an HF-free fluorination process.

Sonichem converts lignocellulosic biomasses into cellulose, natural sugars, and lignin. These biomasses include hard and soft woods, sugar cane bagasse, straws, and grasses. Over 95% of the feedstocks are transformed into valuable products. Using ultrasound to break chemical bonds, this technology separates woody feedstocks into a fractioned mixture of cellulose, sugars, and lignin. The fractioned mixture is then separated into high-quality biochemical products with mild organic solvents. These solvents are received and reused, reducing the inventory of chemicals held on site.

Trillium has developed a technology that produces bio-ACN™ from glycerol. Glycerol is a renewable feedstock that is a byproduct of converting natural oils and fats into soaps, detergents, and biofuels. Bio-ACN™ has a 70% lower carbon footprint than petroleum-based acrylonitrile. This process is scalable and cost-competitive due to the use of an efficient catalytic process that dehydrates glycerin to acrolein. Acrylonitrile is then produced by reacting acrolein with oxygen and ammonia.

Replicates the natural processes of plants in smart cell factories to create a variety of products more sustainably and efficiently. Manus Bio developed an advanced technology designed to recreate plant processes in microorganisms to produce natural ingredients through fermentation. The AI-augmented computational protein design platform, MLEAP®, enables users to discover, develop, and optimize enzymes for different applications.
