Zeon Corporation in joint research with RIKEN (a National Research and Development Agency) and Yokohama Rubber Co Ltd has developed a new technology for the efficient and stable production of isoprene monomers (isoprene) from biomass (biotic resources).
Isoprene is the raw material for polyisoprene rubber, which is mainly used for automobile tires. Industrial isoprene is currently being produced as a by-product of the naphtha pyrolysis. Development of this new technology will reduce future dependence on petroleum and is expected to contribute to reducing carbon dioxide, widely considered to be a cause of global warming.
Zeon has been engaged in joint research with RIKEN and Yokohama Rubber since 2013, and in 2015 discovered a new isoprene-synthesizing process using computer-based in-silico metabolic design technology (for designing new artificial metabolic reactions on computers).
