2018年4月、世界・バイオエナジーとアムステルダムに拠点を置くSkyNRGは、ASTM認定のバイオイソブテン原料および変換方法を利用した持続可能な航空燃料の生産に協力しました。両社は、ジェット燃料の業界標準であるASTM D7566にGlobal BioenergiesのイソブテンベースのSAFを統合したいと考えていますが、まず航空業界の承認が必要です。
グローバル・バイオエナジーは、合成生体触媒を作り、天然酵素と組み合わせて、イソブテンの生成につながる代謝経路を作り出しました。そのため、イソブテンにつながる新しい代謝経路は、それまでの多くのプロセスとは異なり、自然界に存在しないメカニズムが含まれています。
さらに、このユニークなバイオベースの生産方法は、現在スケールアップが進められています。2014年からフランスのポマクルで酸化グレードのイソブテンが約10トン/年の能力を持つパイロットプラントが稼働しており、2017年にはドイツのロイナ製油所敷地内でポリマーグレードのイソブテンが100トン/年のデモ設備が稼動を開始しました。
イソブテンはここ数年、未曾有の成長を遂げており、最終需要家の需要が同製品の市場シェアを拡大させる大きな要因となっています。しかし、需要の拡大は、市場にとって大きなハードルとなり、価格変動が大きな要因となっています。
例えば、2022年第1四半期には、原料供給が限られている代わりに、米国のイソブチレンの価格がさらに上昇しました。下流のポリイソブチレンやブチルゴム業界がバランスを保とうとするため、需要のファンダメンタルズはこの地域で浮き足立っています。しかし、同国の供給は、投入コストの高騰により、国内外のコンバーター向けの原料価格の引き上げを余儀なくされ、不穏な動きとなっています。
さらに、世界のインフレにより、n-ブチレンとイソブチレンの価格が上昇しました。さらに、米国はアジアや欧州のサプライヤーから食料の一部を輸入しています。このため、イソブチレンの価格動向は、高値の輸入貨物に支えられ、米国市場において上昇しました。その結果、利益率を確保するために、製品コストの上昇が顧客のコストを上回ることもありました。
また、石油系イソブチレンの市場シェアは高く、原油価格の高騰はイソブテン事業に悪影響を与えています。ロシアとウクライナの間で続いている問題は、原油上流域の価格に影響を与え、供給不足を招き、米国内におけるイソブテンの価格高騰を招きました。また、2022年第1四半期には、川下のタイヤ産業やガソリン添加剤などの需要に変化がありました。前月に上流の原油・天然ガス価格が回復したため、イソブチレン価格は2021年第4四半期と比較して大幅に上昇しました。
COVID-19の影響により、2020年の世界のイソブテン市場は減少しました。各国政府は、出現したCOVID-19の蔓延を抑制するための措置を講じた。厳しいロックダウンや様々な期間の移動制限の賦課は、様々な産業の成長を妨げています。ロックダウンやその他の移動制限により、自動車や航空宇宙の活動は完全に停止し、必要不可欠なサービスが禁止されました。
バイオベースの原料からのイソブテンは成長段階にあり、新しいタイプの革新的な製品を生み出すための研究開発活動に大きく依存し、価値を生み出し、市場の成長を促進しています。企業は、製品の品質を向上させるために研究開発活動に投資してきました。パンデミックにより、新素材の可塑剤の試験や商業展開が遅れたため、活動は大きな影響を受けた。製品の可能性から、イソブテン分野では多くの新興企業が活動しています。パンデミックにより、一部の新興企業は不透明な状況のため事業を閉鎖せざるを得ず、多くの新興企業の収益に深刻な影響を及ぼしました。
Isobutene Market size was worth US$ XX million in 2022 and is estimated to show significant growth by reaching up to US$ XX million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 4.0% within the forecast period (2023-2030).
Isobutene is an isomeric C4 hydrocarbon known as 2-methylpropene or Isobutylene. Under pressure, the colorless gas is quickly liquefiable. Gas is a versatile and important fundamental building ingredient in chemical synthesis because of its reactivity and other characteristics. Isobutene is a raw ingredient used to create a variety of polymers or finished goods, including antioxidants, polyisobutene (PIB) and a wide range of citral-based products.
Furthermore, Isobutene is primarily used to make polybutylene (butyl rubber) and as a precursor in the synthesis of methyl tert-butyl ether. These goods are frequently used in hot melt adhesives, compounding, masterbatches, plastic packaging, electrical insulation, compression packaging, wires and cables, among other specialist applications.
The widely-used green fuel additive and an industrial chemical is known as bio-based Isobutene is created by utilizing a specific enzyme to change the naturally occurring glucose in plants.
The enzyme is present in nature in around 50% of organisms. Isooctane is added to gasoline to stop knocking and other issues. The fuel could replace the gasoline ingredient methyl tert-butyl ether (MBTE), which may be hazardous. The future goal for major actors in the fight against global warming is net zero emissions. It has been established that Isobutene is environmentally friendly and has negligible potential to cause ozone depletion or global warming.
In April 2018, Global Bioenergies and Amsterdam-based SkyNRG collaborated to produce sustainable aviation fuel utilizing an ASTM-certified bio-isobutene feedstock and conversion method. The companies want to integrate Global Bioenergies' isobutene-based SAF in ASTM D7566, the industry standard for jet fuel, but they need the aviation industry's approval first.
Global Bioenergies created synthetic biocatalysts and paired them with natural enzymes to create the metabolic pathways that lead to the generation of Isobutene. Therefore, the new metabolic pathways leading to Isobutene involve non-naturally occurring mechanisms, in contrast to most earlier processes.
Additionally, the unique bio-based production method is currently being scaled up. A pilot plant with a capacity of around 10 tons/year of oxidation-grade Isobutene has been operating in Pomacle, France, since 2014, while in 2017, a demo facility with 100 tons/year of polymer-grade Isobutene began operations on the Leuna refinery site in Germany.
Isobutene has shown unprecedented growth in the past few years and demand from end-user industries is a major factor that has escalated the product's market share. However, growing demand led to huge crate hurdles for the market and price fluctuation is a major factor.
For instance, in the early quarter of 2022, the price of U.S. isobutylene rose further instead of a limited material supply. Demand fundamentals have been floating in the region as downstream Polyisobutylene and Butyl Rubber industries attempt to maintain the balance. However, the country's supply experienced disturbing dynamics due to high input costs, which compelled producers to increase the price of materials for domestic and foreign converters.
In addition, prices for n-butylene and Isobutylene have increased due to worldwide inflation. Additionally, U.S. imports some of its food from suppliers in Asia and Europe. Consequently, high-priced imported cargoes supported the rising price trend of Isobutylene in U.S. market. As a result, increasing product costs partially exceed those of their customers to safeguard their profit margins.
Petroleum-based Isobutene holds a major market share and rising crude oil prices have negatively impacted the isobutene business. The ongoing problems between Russia and Ukraine have influenced upstream crude oil prices, leading to a supply shortage that has resulted in the high price of Isobutene in U.S. domestic market. Demand from downstream tire industries and gasoline additives also changed in the first quarter of 2022. As upstream crude and natural gas prices recovered in the last month, isobutylene prices increased significantly compared to the fourth quarter of 2021.
The global isobutene market experienced a decline in 2020 owing to COVID-19's impact. The governments took measures to curb the spread of the emerging COVID-19 pandemic. The imposition of strict lockdowns and movement restrictions of varying durations has hampered the growth of various industries. The lockdowns and other movement restrictions completely halted automotive and aerospace activities, barring essential services.
Isobutene from bio-based raw materials is in its growing phase, relying heavily on research and developmental activities to create new types of innovative products to generate value and drive the market's growth. Companies have invested in research and developmental activities to improve product quality. Due to the pandemic, activities were severely affected as the pandemic delayed the testing and commercial deployment of new material plasticizers. Due to the product's potential, many startups are active within the isobutene sector. The revenues of many startups were severely affected by the pandemic, as some startups had to close operations due to the uncertain situation.
The global isobutene market is segmented on raw material, application, end-user and region.
The global isobutene market is segmented based on type: petroleum-based and bio-based. Petroleum-based Isobutene dominates the market of the mentioned types. Isobutene, often referred to as Isobutylene, is a crucial industrial intermediate used in manufacturing polyethylene and polypropylene. The important characteristics of Isobutene include high flammability, colorlessness and benzine odor. Isobutane is an unsaturated hydrocarbon employed as a raw material for butyl rubber and polyisobutylene, among other chemical industry raw materials, industrial additives and solvents.
Isobutane is produced after naphtha is split in the steam cracker. The non-catalytic steam cracking method for producing Isobutene is one of the fundamental methods through which the respective petroleum-based compound is manufactured on an industrial scale. However, the yield of the process is low and the process also consumes much methanol. As a result, scientists have invented other methods for synthesizing Isobutene.
One important manufacturing process for synthesizing Isobutylene is using methanol as a raw material in the MTBE (methyl tert-butyl ether) etherification process and cracking reaction with mixed carbon four containing Isobutylene. In this process, methanol is an effective absorbent for removing light components below C3 from the product gas and heavy components above C3.
Once-through yields of greater than or equal to 98.5%, less than or equal to 1.5% methanol consumption and purity levels greater than or equal to 99.9% may all be achieved using the respective isobutylene production process. The method of isobutylene production addresses the initial difficulties of low isobutylene yield and excessive solvent usage during manufacturing.
