Objective

Catalyxx possesses an innovative, patented thermochemical catalytic biorefinery technology that transforms bioethanol into high-value bio-based chemicals such as bio n-butanol, bio n-hexanol, and bio n-octanol, offering sustainable alternatives to fossil-based feedstocks. With over a decade of technology development and 50,000 hours of testing leading to TRL7, Catalyxx has demonstrated success with its Demonstrator Plant operating for over 8,000 hours. The next milestone is the construction of the groundbreaking first-of-a-kind (""FOAK"") 15,000 tons per year plant. Positioned uniquely in the market with sustainable production methods, Catalyxx aims to cater to the rising demand for low-carbon chemicals, providing a cost-competitive and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional methods.Independent LCA analysis showcases our environmentally friendly approach with a carbon footprint of -1.0 kg CO2 eq/kg butanol compared to 2.5 kg CO2 eq/kg for oxo butanol. Our intermediate chemicals play a pivotal role in decarbonizing downstream value chains. Support from the EIC is essential to expedite technology scale-up, showcase performance at scale, attract further investment, and facilitate the transition towards sustainable petrochemistry.""
