Green Chemistry• Starting material
– Renewable– Simple structures
• Processing– Few/no by products– No/little solvents (Water)– Low energy input
• Products– Replace polluting materials– Replace petroleum based material
A Codevelopment Program for the Conversion of Seed Oils to
Value added Chemical
Cargill- Materia- Caltech-DOE
Replace petroleum based productswith those from renewable resources
Seed oils (corn and soy beans) are highly unsaturated (many double bonds) and
can be modified by Olefin Metathesisto
value added functional moleculesCargill anticipates that it will have commercial sales in 2006 of several million pounds of a proprietary Ruthenium-metathesis based product derived from a renewable resource that will replace a petroleum-based material.
