Clariant Zeolites partners with Vertimass to scale-up CADO biofuels technology
In Germany, Clariant announced a strategic collaboration with Vertimass 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.
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.
“We are excited to collaborate with Vertimass on this innovative technology that represents a significant advancement in renewable fuel production,” said Gene Mueller, Vice President and Head of Ethylene for Clariant Catalysts. “Vertimass’ approach to converting renewable alcohols into biobased fuels has remarkable potential for commercial application and environmental benefit. By combining their process innovation with our proven expertise in zeolite catalyst development and industrial scale-up, we are targeting to accelerate the path to commercialization.”
