Celtic Renewables ships first bioacetone and biobutanol cargo

In Scotland, the first tanker of sustainably produced bioacetone and biobutanol has been dispatched from Celtic Renewables’ flagship Biorefinery in Grangemouth, marking a major milestone for the world’s shift to green chemicals. This achievement is backed by over £60million in funding which enabled the construction of Scotland’s first Biorefinery and its commercial-scale operations.

The cargo containing bioacetone and biobutanol, which will be available for commercial use, is on its way to a processing plant in Chesterfield as part of a long-term deal with internationally renowned chemical distribution company, Caldic, who will distribute the green chemicals to their customers across the world, which include manufacturers of pharmaceuticals, personal care and homecare products, such as screenwash for cars, paints, shampoos, hand lotions, soaps, perfumes and more.
