The Ineos Bio Ethanol technology efficiently converts a wide range of low cost, organic materials, including household and commercial wastes into bioethanol for use as a renewable road transport fuel or petrochemical intermediate. The INEOS Bio process is a combined thermo-chemical and bio-chemical process and comprises three main steps:
- Gasification - The prepared organic carbon material is gasified using a controlled amount of oxygen to produce synthesis gas, a mixture of principally carbon monoxide and hydrogen. The gasifier design and operating conditions have been carefully chosen to inhibit the formation of dioxins and furans and to suppress the carry-over of volatile metals. The hot synthesis gas is quenched and cleaned. Heat is recovered to generate renewable power for use in the process.
- Fermentation - The cleaned, cooled synthesis gas is passed into a patented fermentation process, where it is converted selectively into ethanol by naturally occurring anaerobic bacteria (the biocatalyst). The fermentation environment, containing the right quantity and type of nutrients, is maintained at carefully controlled conditions.
The bacteria, in this healthy state, achieve an extremely high selectivity to ethanol and high yield of ethanol. The high selectivity and yield translate to outstanding process efficiencies. The off-gas from the fermenter is used to generate additional power and heat.
- Purification - The ethanol solution is purified and refined to make anhydrous ethanol (>99.7% ethanol). This can be blended into gasoline as required for the local, renewable road transport fuel market.

Coverage
In the News
- Cars to Run on Fuel from Household Waste Within Two Years (http://www.biobasednews.com/node/17095) - According to Peter Williams, INEOS Bio (http://www.ineosbio.com) CEO, “In North America and Europe we will see around 10% or more of petrol (gasoline) being replaced with bioethanol. Our technology will make a major contribution to reducing greenhouse gases and the world’s need for fossil fuels. (Biobased News; July 22, 2008)
- Firm To Make Bioethanol In Fayetteville (http://www.4029tv.com/news/16945312/detail.html) - Ineos hopes to produce commercial quantities of bioethanol fuel from municipal waste in about two years. One ton of waste can be converted into 100 gallons of ethanol, which can be blended with or replace traditional fuels.(4029TV; July 22, 2008)
- Waste powered cars 'in two years' (http://news.uk.msn.com/Article.aspx?cp-documentid=8954613) - Peter Williams, chief executive officer of INEOS Bio, the part of the firm which makes bioethanol fuel, said: "This is a very robust and flexible process, and we have everything we need now to take it to a commercial level." Mr Williams added: "This is very attractive from the perspective of the food versus fuel debate, as it takes fuel production away from corn." (MSN UK; July 22, 2008)
