The technology for greener chemicals
Gefn’s innovations will enable tomorrow’s chemical industry to profitably utilise biomass feedstock in the form of by-products, waste and climate-neutral CO2 with ever less reliance on fossil-based carbon and virgin oleo-feedstocks.
Flexible process technology
Gefn’s process intensification-based technology is applied as complete and modular plug-on processes or as separate equipment. The modularity minimises downtime during integration and enables modifications and relocation. The dynamic nature of Gefn’s processes and equipment allows flexibility in raw materials and products for optimisation of production costs and revenues. The technology enables a faster respond time to meet the needs of customers and the market. and the market.
By-products and waste such as glycerol, fatty acids and triglycerides gain a purpose
The oleochemical, biodiesel and omega-3 industries, and other oleo-feedstock processing, often generate considerable amounts of low value by-products and waste such as glycerol, fatty acids and triglycerides.
Gefn’s process technology enables dynamic, economical and localised production of these chemicals through reactions with alcohols, carboxylic acids and climate-neutral CO2 and produces valuable carbonates and esters.
Production of climate neutral Co2
Sourcing climate-neutral CO2
Sourcing of climate-neutral CO2 by direct air capture (DAC) and from fermentation and digestion of biomass, such as production of bioethanol and biomethane, constitute important alternative sources of carbon which can valorised in oleo-feedstock conversions.
Chemicals with a broad range of applications
The chemicals have a broad range of applications in cleaning products, personal care products, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, paints, fuel additives, batteries, nutritional products and more.
They can also serve as intermediates and be processed further into existing specialty and fine chemicals as well as for synthesizing new types of materials.
