EGgPLANT
EGgPLANT project was supported by the European Investment Council (EIC) under the SME Instrument (Phase 2). The objective of EGgPLANT was to build a demonstration plant (11 tons/year) that will enable the techno-economic validation of the process and produce sample material to support scale-up to industrial volumes. Avantium has developed the one-step Ray Technology™ process for the production of plantMEG™ and plantMPG™ from renewable sources, which are competitive in both cost and quality with existing petrochemical MEG and MPG.
Bio-MEG Proeffabriek
Bio-MEG Proeffabriek project was supported by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) through Samenwerkingsverband Noord Nederland (SNN). The objective of Bio-MEG Proeffabriek was to support the construction of a demonstration plant that will scale up the production of plantMEG™ and plantMPG™. This allowed for techno-economic scale-up and evaluation of the process, as well as the production of relevant sample quantities of product to support downstream validation in various applications. Demonstrating the functional performance of the plant-based glycols was an important step in the scale-up of the Ray Technology™.
