Mitsubishi Chemical enters partnerships for zeolite membrane




Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation (MCC) has entered into strategic partnerships with ICM Inc and Mitsui & Co Ltd, for marketing zeolite membranes, Zebrex, for bioethanol production.
ICM for North America and Mitsui for Asia-Pacific and Europe. The partnerships will accelerate MCC's business development in the bioethanol market further on a global scale.
With US and Brazil leading the global market, the use of bioethanol derived from biomass feedstocks such as corn, sugar cane and cassava has been wide-spreading due to its carbon neutrality and potential to reduce greenhouse gas emission. Further, what has been called the "second-generation bioethanol," bioethanol from non-edible feedstocks is evolving in US and India.
Bioethanol is required to be dehydrated to a certain extent for use as fuel. With the continuously growing market globally, bioethanol producers will significantly take advantage of Zebrex.
