Avantium develops "Furanics", a new generation of biobased plastics and fuels. Furanics can be produced from biomass such as sugars and other carbohydrates. Avantium's Furanics plastics (such as a green alternative to PET) can be produced cheaper than oil-based plastics and they have attractive properties with the potential to replace traditional plastics in many existing applications. Avantium's Furanics fuel program aims to develop a new generation of fuels (e.g. diesel, jet fuel) with both excellent properties (such as high energy density and mixability with conventional fuels) and competitive production costs. Furanics are a sustainable alternative for materials and fuels that are currently produced from crude oil.
