Why is Elevance the leader in transforming natural renewable plant-based oils into green, cleantech solutions for application by our partners across multiple high-growth product categories?
Our next-generation catalyst technology unlocks nature's bounty:
- Creating high-performing environmentally friendly solutions across multiple product categories.
- Using locally available renewable feedstocks.
With Nobel Prize-winning catalytic methods and patent-protected technologies, our natural oil compounds are synthesized with greater efficiency:
- Offering superior performance at a lower cost.
- Using less energy to produce than fossil-based oils.
- Leaving a smaller carbon footprint.
Petrochemical Technologies:
- Petrochemical manufacturers build complexity from simplicity.
- Billions are invested to produce a simple olefin, ethylene: H2C=CH2.
- Once produced, petrochemicals react the olefin to produce a diverse set of more complex products.
- Ethylene derivatives may be sold or subsequently reacted to build additional complexity.
Elevance's Advantages:
- We use technology to unlock nature's complexity.
- Natural oils already contain desired reactive olefins.
- Metathesis converts complex molecule into simple fragments, smaller polymers or added functional groups.
- Strength and versatility of metathesis enables manufacture of target products using low temperature and pressure.
- Product options include wax, alpha olefins, acids/esters, epoxides, aldehydes and alcohols.
