INEOS Bio

INEOS Bio develops and brings to market green process technology for global use. Our vision is to provide an enduring competitive advantage in the emerging bioenergy sector, while meeting some of the most challenging needs of society, as expressed through climate change and waste legislation. The INEOS Bio platform is based on an innovative industrial biotechnology, which has been extensively developed and proven on an integrated pilot plant since 2003. A wide range of carbon feedstocks have been successfully tested through a rigorous and extensive research and development programme. The first commercial advanced BioEnergy facility is currently expected to complete construction in early Q2, 2012 at the Vero Beach, FL location. The project has been supported by the US Department of Energy, the US Department of Agriculture and the State of Florida.
