Visolis is developing a sustainable method to produce isoprene, a key ingredient in rubber products, using a bioengineered microbe that converts plant sugars into high-purity isoprene. This process significantly reduces costs and carbon emissions compared to traditional methods reliant on crude oil.
Visolis represent the future in cheap sustainable isoprene.
About 770,000 metric tonnes of Isoprene are produced annually and commonly used in tyres, but also many other rubber applications including medical equipment, toys, shoe soles, textiles.
Currently the cheapest way to produce Isoprene is via its extraction from the steam by-product of ethylene production from crude oil cracking.
However due to rising crude oil prices, ethylene is being produced more and more via natural gas that does not…
