Plant Profile: Inside a Bio-Based Chemical Success Story

What has made Elevance Renewable Sciences — a bio-based chemical company in Illinois — thrive in an oil-abundant market? We traveled to its headquarters to find out.

Recently our team had a chance to travel to Woodridge, Illinois to visit the headquarters of a bio-based chemical company called Elevance Renewable Sciences. Elevance has many notable achievements under its belt including the development of a Nobel Prize winning catalytic technology. They’re also one of the companies behind the first world-scale biorefinery, which is located in Indonesia, and will be opening a new biorefinery in Mississippi.

In this exclusive sneak peek inside their home office and one of their testing labs, Elevance talked to us about what has made the company flourish and the future of the biochemicals industry.
