A bioengineering company produces Brontide butylene glycol from a sustainable fermentation process, supplying 600 tons to the European market. Unlike most butylene glycol sourced from petroleum, Brontide is made directly from plant-based sugars and certified as natural and bio-based. Its production has the potential to reduce greenhouse gases by 100,000 tons of CO2e per year and eliminate 50,000 tons of the carcinogen acetaldehyde used in conventional methods. The global 1,3-butylene glycol market is expected to grow at a 5% CAGR through 2030 due to rising demand from the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries.

2. Manufacturing Process
Green Technology – the best
Brontide is made from plant-based sugars, using fermentation-based
process technology. ... Not only is Brontide the only butylene glycol
made directly from sugars in the world, it conforms to the ISO 16128
definition as a natural ingredient and is also the only butylene glycol
produced in Europe
Most butylene glycol products on the market today are
sourced from petroleum and are made from acetaldehyde, a
carcinogen and mutagen

5. 1,3-Butylene Glycol Market Overview
The 1,3-butylene glycol market size stood at
$139,994.9 thousand in 2019, and it is expected to
demonstrate a CAGR of 5.0% during the forecast
period (2020–2030). The growth of the cosmetic
product industry, along with the rising demand for
1,3-butylene glycol in the pharmaceutical sector, is
the major factor driving the 1,3-butylene glycol
industry.

7. • A bio-engineering company produces Brontide butylene glycol from sustainable
fermentation process technology. The company has recently supplied 600 tons
of Brontide in European market.
• Bio-refining company produced bio-based 1,3 butylene glycol from renewable
resource. And has been certified by USDA for 100% bio-based carbon content.
