About Butamax   

Advanced Biofuels

Butamax is a fully resourced and committed biofuel company providing the technology to cost-effectively produce biobutanol for the long term.

Butamax’s rigorous technology development and its commercialization strategy ensure competitive positioning in the automotive fuels sector and other industries.

BIOBUTANOL HAS A NUMBER OF SIGNIFICANT ADVANTAGES OVER EXISTING ​BIOFUELS:

  • Highest value biofuel which can be produced at existing ethanol production facilities enabling rapid scale-up of total product volumes
  • Can be blended into gasoline at higher concentrations, providing twice the renewable content in every gallon (U.S. regulations allow biobutanol to be blended at 16% by volume vs. 10% by volume for ethanol)
  • Drop-in biofuel—can be used in existing vehicles and infrastructure
  • Improved refining economics—allows refiners to increase gasoline yield at lower cost
  • Does not separate in water, enabling biobutanol to be blended directly at refineries and transported via existing fuel infrastructure and pipelines

Butamax Technology

Butamax™ Advanced Biofuels, a joint venture of BP and DuPont, has developed an innovative biobutanol production technology offering a low-cost, high-value drop-in biofuel for global transportation fuels supply. Butamax technology is designed to convert the sugars from various biomass feedstocks, including corn and sugarcane, into biobutanol using existing biofuel production facilities.

Butamax and Highwater Ethanol have broken ground on the company’s first biobutanol retrofit project. Butamax’s cutting edge technology package implements novel corn oil separation technology. This technology is part of a Butamax licensing opportunity, which is an integral part of the full retrofit to biobutanol production and can be installed independently as a first phase of conversion.

Butamax™ Technology 

At Butamax, we are developing a comprehensive licensing package to supply current ethanol operations with new renewable fuel technologies enabling the economically advantaged production of biobutanol.

As a fully resourced technology provider, Butamax is committed to ensuring the effective scale-up of our biobutanol technology over the long term. Backed by the resources of our shareholders, Butamax is leveraging hundreds of collective years of successful scale-up experience through process piloting and risk mitigation at our state-of-the-art Demonstration Facility in the U.K.

Butamax is currently building relationships with refining customers for biobutanol, and will provide a secure, high-value market for all biobutanol produced. In addition, we will offer a full range of services—including ongoing consultancy and technical support—to assist current ethanol producers in retrofitting their facilities to produce biobutanol. For our refiner and producer partners, our rigorous technology development and commercialization strategy ensure competitive positioning in the automotive fuels market with potential in other industries.

On October 2, 2013, Butamax announced that we had begun Phase 1 of a retrofit of Highwater Ethanol’s plant in Lamberton, Minnesota for the production of biobutanol. The cutting-edge separation technology package includes a novel corn oil removal system and is an integral part of a full retrofit to biobutanol production. Construction is now complete and the facility is in full operation.
