In the Netherlands, Argent Energy officially launched Europe’s largest facility dedicated to producing bio-based, technical-grade glycerine at its Port of Amsterdam site. The state-of-the-art refinery will upgrade crude glycerine, a by-product of Argent’s waste-based biodiesel process, into 99.7% pure technical-grade glycerine.
This development, set to produce 50,000 tons of bio-based glycerine, provides chemical producers, for which glycerine is an important product, with an opportunity to use a bio-based alternative that provides clear environmental benefits over conventional options.
Argent Energy’s bio-based glycerine, suitable for a wide range of technical applications, offers a replacement for several petrochemicals, giving industries the opportunity to embrace a circular economy and reduce their reliance on fossil fuel-derived feedstocks.
