Biokim has the ambition to use sustainable and renewable feedstock to process further downstream to products used for everyday applications. The feedstock should be independent from the petroleum route and therefore not using earth’s finite resources. The plant will go up to five steps downstream combining commercially proven and unique technologies, ensuring a self-economic and competitive production facility to traditional refineries.
Bio-based
Rafet Tükek, Chairman of the Executive Board of Biokim: ‘We have developed an innovative business model that disrupts todays conventional fossil based value chain, accelerating the transition to a bio-based, circular and thus more sustainable economy.’ Working together with a broad and integrated network of stakeholders worldwide, Biokim created a platform to realize the ambition of bio-based production. Using first and second generation Bio-based ethanol as feedstock, the end-products will be used in the manufacturing of everyday applications such as the car industry, furniture, filling materials, diapers and packaging materials.
Export
The project will be implemented at the Adana Free Zone Area, located at Yumurtalık. Having all the necessary infrastructure available and the area being a duty-free zone and makes it an ideal location to export to Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Site works are expected to start in Q2 2017. The production facilities including all related utility facilities and infrastructure are expected to be operational in 2020.
