Sinochem News reported on August 11 that according to Axunsi Energy, according to BASF's press release, Eni and BASF signed a strategic agreement on a joint research and development program to reduce the carbon dioxide footprint of the transportation industry
.

This cooperation aims to develop a new technology to produce high-grade biopropanol using glycerol, which is a by-product of industrial biodiesel (FAME, fatty acid methyl ester) that Eni will buy from European producers
.

The technology being developed includes the conversion of glycerol to propanol through an innovative catalytic hydrogenation process

The new method includes high-pressure hydrogenation reactions on BASF catalysts to ensure high yield and high purity of biopropanol, while minimizing by-products
.

Compared with fossil fuels, bio-propanol has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 65% to 75%

The propanol obtained by this innovative method can be easily added to gasoline as a biofuel component
.

Compared with bioethanol, biopropanol has better physical and chemical properties and a higher octane number, and is a valuable component for preparing high-quality gasoline
