据烃加工3月15日消息称，吉诺玛蒂卡和日本旭化成宣布建立战略合作伙伴关系，将由吉诺玛蒂卡的生物基六亚甲基二胺 (HMD) 构件制成的可再生资源尼龙 6,6 商业化。旭化成希望通过这种合作伙伴关系来支持其目标，即在基于植物基HMD的基础上，为汽车和电子行业提供更可持续的尼龙6,6，并加速实现其企业可持续发展目标。
HMD是尼龙6,6(也称为聚酰胺6,6)和多种其他类型尼龙的关键成分，全球市场为200万吨/年。传统的 HMD 由化石燃料制成，例如原油或天然气。采用吉诺玛蒂卡技术制造的可再生 HMD 源自可再生原料，例如植物糖，可以提高由它制成的许多材料的可持续性。
基于吉诺玛蒂卡最近宣布的成功生产大量植物性 HMD 的突破性进展，旭化成打算应用 GENO HMD 工艺技术，为高温汽车零部件、电子产品或生产安全气囊的纱线等产品制造更可持续的材料。利用旭化成开发成功尼龙应用的经验，旭化成将优先获得早期可再生来源的 HMD 并进行尼龙应用测试。旭化成预计将获得吉诺玛蒂卡的 GENO HMD 工艺技术的许可，以将生物基尼龙 6,6 商业化。
吉诺玛蒂卡首席执行官 Christophe Schilling 表示：“正如可持续能源转型正在彻底改变我们的生活方式一样，我们正处于可持续材料转型的开端，这将彻底改造我们每天使用的产品和它们的来源。”
吉诺玛蒂卡开发完整、集成的工艺和制造工厂设计，利用生物技术、发酵和可再生原料来制造具有较低碳足迹的广泛使用的成分和材料。旭化成希望吉诺玛蒂卡的创新能够帮助公司实现到 2050 年实现碳中和的目标。

Genomatica, Asahi Kasei partner on renewably-sourced nylon
Genomatica and Asahi Kasei announced a strategic partnership to commercialize renewably-sourced nylon 6,6 made from Genomatica’s bio-based hexamethylenediamine (HMD) building block. Asahi Kasei looks to this partnership to support its goal to be first-to-market with a more sustainable nylon 6,6 for the automotive and electronics industries, based on plant-based HMD, and to accelerate the achievement of its corporate sustainability objectives.
HMD is a key component of nylon 6,6 (also known as polyamide 6,6) and multiple other types of nylon, with a global market of 2 MMtpy. Conventional HMD is made starting from fossil fuels, such as crude oil or natural gas. Renewably-sourced HMD made with Genomatica’s technology is derived from renewable feedstocks, such as plant-based sugars, and can improve the sustainability of the many materials made from it.
Building upon Genomatica’s recently-announced breakthrough to successfully produce significant volumes of plant-based HMD, Asahi Kasei intends to apply the GENO HMD process technology to make more sustainable materials for use in products such as high-temperature automotive parts, electronics or yarns to produce airbags. Asahi Kasei will have preferential access to early volumes of renewably-sourced HMD and perform nylon application testing, leveraging Asahi Kasei’s experience developing successful nylon applications. Asahi Kasei anticipates licensing Genomatica’s GENO HMD process technology to commercialize bio-based nylon 6,6.
“Just as the sustainable energy transition is reinventing how we power our lives, we are at the start of a sustainable materials transition that will reinvent the products we use every day and where they come from,” said Christophe Schilling, Genomatica CEO.
Genomatica develops complete, integrated process and manufacturing plant designs that use biotechnology, fermentation and renewable feedstocks to make widely-used ingredients and materials with lower carbon footprints. Asahi Kasei expects Genomatica’s innovation to help the company reach its goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050.
