In Massachusetts, chemicals company Novomer Inc. announced plans to open a new innovation center in Rochester, New York with a move in date of December as it works on commercializing a family of competitively priced bio-based chemicals and high-performance polymers from ethanol and low-cost carbon monoxide. The facility, named the Novomer Innovation Center, is designed to meet the expanding demands of the company’s growing bio-based chemicals business. All equipment, production assets, and employees will be transferred from the existing product development and pilot operations location in Rochester to the new 26,000 sq ft facility.
