ADM and P2 Science to collaborate in the development of renewable chemicals and materials


Type of post: NEWS.

ADM and P2 Science (P2) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that intends to build on both companies’ expertise in the field of chemistry and renewable materials derived from plants. The MoU proposes the companies will work together in the development of commercial opportunities for plant-based monomers, polymers and ingredients for personal care and flavors & fragrances (F&F).

ADM has a portfolio of plant-based feedstocks including carbohydrates, vegetable oils and terpenes. P2 has developed a suite of patented green chemistry process technologies that convert renewable feedstocks into high value specialty chemicals. P2 also has a growing portfolio of novel aroma chemicals and cosmetics ingredients. Under the terms of the MoU, the companies will bring these and other strengths together with the aim of developing business opportunities in the growing market for plant-based, renewable chemicals and materials. The initial program targets will include monomers for polyesters and polyamides and other chemical intermediates derived from vegetable oil feedstocks.

ADM is committed to growing its sustainable materials platform by combining agricultural feedstocks with world-class technology to provide renewable solutions to customers throughout the value chain. In 2018, ADM and DuPont opened the world’s first pilot production facility for biobased FDME (“ADM and DuPont open a FDME pilot plant in Illinois”, 3/5/2018) and earlier this year announced a joint development with LG Chem to produce biobased acrylic acid.
