Bio-butadiene, ethanol-to-butadiene (ETB)

Petron's Ethanol-to-Butadiene technology converts bio-ethanol into 1,3-butadiene, the monomer backbone of synthetic rubber used in tyres, hoses, and latex products. With the global tyre industry actively seeking certified bio-based butadiene, and structural petrochemical shortages tightening supply, this technology positions Petron at the intersection of renewable chemistry and the multi-billion-dollar rubber supply chain. Target clients are tyre majors and synthetic rubber producers across Europe and Asia.
