BIRD Energy Supports Joint Cleantech Development by Israel’s Transbiodiesel and Pennsylvania based Purolite, Inc.
The Bi-National Research and Development Foundation, represented by AICC in Pennsylvania and Delaware, provided matching funds to Purolite, Inc., a Bala Cynwyd, PA based resin manufacturer and Israel’s Transbiodiesel to jointly manufacture and market biocatalysts to replace chemicals for diesel production with Israeli start-up Transbiodiesel. Chemical catalysts have significant environmental and operational drawbacks with substantial impact on cost-effectiveness that are eliminated by enzyme-based catalysts. |
