AzkoNobel Teams Up with Other Groups to Research Chemical Production from Sugar Beet

AzkoNobel together with several companies, local government and government agencies are now studying the possibility of producing chemicals from beet-derived sugar feedstock. Deloitte, one of the partners, is now doing a feasibility study to assess the viability of commercial production in Delfzijl, Netherlands.

As part of ongoing efforts to replace scarce non-renewable raw materials, the partnership could lead to cost – effective production of several chemicals. The study follows a recent report by Deloitte, identifying the Netherlands as a cost leader in the sugar production.
