Volume 90, Issue 5
San Diego-based start-up Genomatica has formed a joint venture with Italian biobased plastics maker Novamont to operate a 40 million-lb-per-year butanediol plant in Italy. The companies signed a letter of intent last August. The venture is spending $50 million to purchase an idle lysine facility in Adria, Italy, from BioItalia and retrofit it to make biobased butanediol by 2013. Novamont will hold a majority of the joint venture and will purchase all of the plant’s output for polymer production.
