ABOUT ANELLOTECH:
Founded in 2008, Anellotech (http://www.anellotech.com) is a sustainable technology company focusedon commercializing the innovative production of cost-competitive renewable chemicals and fuels fromnon-food biomass or waste plastics. Its fully developed and patented Bio-TCat® technology is an efficientthermal catalytic process for converting biomass into benzene, toluene and xylene, which are chemicallyidentical to their petroleum-based counterparts. In addition to BTX, Bio-TCat produces heavier aromatics,which can be used to make high-quality biofuels blendstock for transportation fuel to help decarbonizetransportation fuels supply chains. Anellotech’s R&D team is now focused on Plas-TCat®, an emergingprocess technology that converts mixed waste plastics into commodity chemicals such as olefins andaromatics, the primary chemicals used to make plastic packaging and other products
