$300M Eddyville facility to be first of its kind in US
8 Jun 2021
EDDYVILLE — A $300 million facility in Eddyville will have the ability to save up to 93% of greenhouse gas emissions.
Cargill and HELM are entering a joint venture, Qore, to help leading brands replace fossil-based chemistries with bio-based intermediates, which will enable them to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Qore will focus on producing QIRA, a next-generation 1,4-butanediol (BDO) that is made biologically through the fermentations of plant-based sugars.
