Clariant teams with Vertimass to speed up advanced zeolite catalysts for biobased alcohols conversion

March 3, 2026 |

In Germany, Clariant recently announced a strategic collaboration with Vertimass LLC aiming to accelerate the development and commercialization of advanced zeolite catalysts for the catalytic conversion of biobased alcohols via Vertimass Consolidated Alcohols Deoxygenation and Oligomerization (CADO) process. The envisaged project combines Vertimass’ novel technology with Clariant’s six decades of expertise in zeolite catalyst development to advance sustainable processing.

Under the collaboration, Clariant intends to provide comprehensive technical support to scale Vertimass’ technology to commercial production. This encompasses zeolite catalyst development expertise, industrial scale-up guidance, catalyst sample provision for development and testing, detailed characterization services to evaluate catalyst properties and performance, and ongoing technical consultation from Clariant’s zeolite experts.
