Circa Group has agreed to supply the chemical distributor Oqema with several thousand metric tons per year of its dihydrolevoglucosenone solvent, to be made in a plant set to open in late 2023 in Carling Saint-Avold, France. The solvent, sold as Cyrene, is derived from cellulose and intended to replace petrochemical solvents such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. With similar deals to supply Will & Co., Merck KGaA, and Dichem, Circa says it now has reservation commitments for over 5,000 metric tons of Cyrene per year.
