(Tokyo) announced an investment in Apeiron AgroCommodities Pte., which will be renamed Apeiron in June 2022<br \/>\n Bioenergy (Singapore).  Apeiron<br \/>\n Bioenergy is one of the largest collectors and sellers of waste cooking oil in Southeast Asia and China, which can be used as a feedstock for the production of bio-based chemicals and plastics.  The investment will help Mitsui Chemicals expand its sourcing of biomass raw materials to meet its growing demand for bio-based chemicals and plastics.\n <\/p>\n<p>\n In the push for a carbon-neutral society, players around the world are stepping up efforts to replace petroleum-derived raw materials and fuels with waste- or biomass-based alternatives.  However, given the limited supply of these raw materials to meet growing demand, raw material safety is expected to become an increasingly important point going forward.\n <\/p>\n<p>\n There are many options for waste-based biomass feedstocks, however, waste cooking oil contributes the most to reducing greenhouse gas emissions &#8211; besides, its inedibility means it does not cause food shortages.\n <\/p>\n<p>\n For Mitsui Chemicals, Apeiron Bioenergy<br \/>\n The investment will help ensure a steady supply of bio-based hydrocarbons, which are the raw materials for bio-based chemicals and plastics.  Meanwhile, for Apeiron<br \/>\n For Bioenergy, the move will add a steady source of new demand.  The investment will also deliver wider benefits, helping to expand the bio-based chemicals and plastics market through business models that combine carbon neutrality with a circular economy.\n <\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Latest News:Mitsui Chemicals Co., Ltd.
