Using ethane derived from 100% renewable resources, Brazilian
petrochemical firm Braskem has announced the creation of a biobased
high-density polyethylene (HDPE), applying sugar-cane ethanol as a
feedstock.
Targeting commercial production by 2009, Braskem reports investing $5
million in the project, including the creation of a pilot unit at
Braskem's Technology and Innovation Center that's already producing
unspecified amounts of the material. Braskem's goal is industrial-
scale production with a potential annual capacity of 200,000 tons.
According to the Earth Policy institute, sugar-cane-derived ethanol
accounts for 40% of the fuel sold in Brazil. The country led the world
in ethanol production in 2004, distilling 4 billion gallons, followed
by the U.S. with 3.5-billion gallons of corn ethanol distilled.

Hi,

Brazil’s Braskem has produced its first polyethylene made from sugarcane ethanol. The polymer was certified to contain 100% renewable raw materials. The project is now in technical and economic specification process and the startup of green polyethylene production on an industrial scale is expected in late 2009. The new unit will have modern technology and competitive scale, and could reach annual production capacity of up to 200,000 tonnes. The location and industrial design of the unit will be determined within the next few months.
