Drop-in chemicals

  • Glossary item | Last updated: 04 Jan 2021

Chemicals derived from biomass that are identical to their petro-derived peers, independently of the feedstock, and constitute therefore their perfect replacement (e.g. isobutanol conventionally derives from propylene but the same molecule can also derive from sugars and is therefore a drop-in chemical).
