Sumitomo Chemical has begun operating a pilot facility in Chiba to produce propylene directly from ethanol using its proprietary one-step process, supported by Japan’s NEDO Green Innovation Fund.
The technology cuts costs, co-produces hydrogen, and reduces reliance on fossil feedstocks.
The company targets commercialisation and licensing by the early 2030s.
