But for now, let's look at another way that isoprene could be bad for air quality. Isoprene has an organic molecule and it is released into a very oxygen-rich atmosphere. So it gets oxidized.

Visolis' products are based on concepts contained in biology and chemistry, whereby Visolis uses the most efficient system possible to develop a sustainable platform molecule. After the bio-based ...

The report " Isoprene Market by Type (Polymer grade, Chemical grade), Application (Polyisoprene, Styrene isoprene styrene, Isobutyl isoprene rubber), End-Use Industry (Tires, Non-tires, Adhesives ...

Amyris’s technology, currently used to produce at commercial scale a 15-carbon molecule called farnesene, can also convert plant-based sugars into isoprene, a 5-carbon molecule and main ...

After the bio-based platform molecule is produced, the company can use chemistry to make whatever material might be needed for a desired application. Visolis had raised more than $8 million for its ...

Isoprene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) produced by plants like oak and poplar trees. It’s the second-highest emitted hydrocarbon on Earth, following methane emissions from human activities.

TOKYO—Zeon Corp. and California startup Visolis have completed a feasibility study to jointly produce bio-based isoprene monomers and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), using Visolis' processing ...

The study found that combustion-related isoprene emissions from outdoor biomass burning and residential fuel use were estimated at approximately 52.0 Gg in 2000, decreasing to 14.8 Gg in 2016 ...

According to a new study, tundra vegetation could emit up to 41% more isoprene than current levels if temperatures in these regions rise by an additional 2 °C (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 2022 ...

Isoprene is used as a precursor to produce terpenes and terpenoids. However, the direct catalytic conversion of isoprene to terpenoids is challenging. Recently, a research team led by Prof. CHEN ...
