In Texas, Cemvita announced the opening of a pilot plant in Houston. The plant marks a landmark step in the development of technology for using CO2 emissions as feedstock to produce valuable biocommodities including fertilizer, plastic, methane, and fuels. The opening of the pilot plant also marks the launch of Cemvita’s eCO2 business as a wholly owned company under Cemvita.
Boasting a substantial volume of 55,000 liters, the plant is currently producing eCO2TM Oil, a cutting-edge microbially-produced alternative to soybean oil. The company is already shipping samples of eCO2 products to customers including leading renewable fuels companies and plastics manufacturers. The eCO2 company is already in pre-FEED engineering on full commercial scale designs.
