據(jù)MRCHUB網(wǎng)站5月23日莫斯科報道，日本出光興產(chǎn)株式會社（Idemitsu Kosan Co.，Ltd.），KUMHO Petrochemical Co.，Ltd.和住友商事株式會社(Sumitomo Corporation)已簽署諒解備忘錄，以建立長期合作關(guān)系，促進亞洲可持續(xù)聚合物和化學品市場的發(fā)展和進一步增長。

在該項目中，日本最大的SM制造商Idemitsu將以質(zhì)量平衡法進行Bio-SM生產(chǎn)，韓國最大的合成橡膠制造商KUMHO將使用Bio-SM生產(chǎn)高性能輪胎的主要產(chǎn)品之一bio-SSBR（溶液苯乙烯-丁二烯橡膠）。住友商事將協(xié)調(diào)合作，開發(fā)生物材料市場。這些公司計劃將于2024年開始生產(chǎn)生物聚合物。

Bio-SM是由廢物和殘留物等生物基原料的生物石腦油制成的。傳統(tǒng)上，石腦油是從原油中提取的，已被廣泛用于生產(chǎn)乙烯和丁二烯等基本化學元素。通過增加生物石腦油中Bio-SM的使用，這些公司希望減少碳和溫室氣體（GHG）的產(chǎn)生或碳足跡，并加強ESG管理合作網(wǎng)絡(luò)。

Idemitsu Kosan, KUMHO and Sumitomo Corporation sign MOU to create a bio material supply chain

Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd., KUMHO Petrochemical Co., Ltd., and Sumitomo Corporation have signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to establish a long-term collaboration for the development and further growth of the sustainable polymers and chemicals market in Asia, said the company.

In this project, Idemitsu, the largest SM manufacturer in Japan, will produce bio-SM in the mass balance method, and KUMHO, the largest synthetic rubber manufacturer in South Korea, will produce bio-SSBR (Solution Styrene Butadiene Rubber)*, one of main products for high-functional tires by using bio-SM. Sumitomo Corporation will be coordinating the collaboration and develop bio material market. The companies plan to commence production of biopolymer in 2024.

Bio-SM is from bio-naphtha that is bio-based raw material such as waste and residues. Conventionally, naphtha is extracted from crude oil and has been widely used to produce basic chemical elements such as ethylene and butadiene. By increasing the use of bio-SM from bio-naphtha, the companies expect to reduce carbon and greenhouse gas (GHG) generation, or carbon footprint, as well as strengthen ESG management cooperation network.
