On December 12, world leaders agreed to binding rules to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.  This gives a clear signal that businesses and industry must invest in a low-carbon transition towards renewable alternatives.

GFBiochemicals recognizes the growing demand for new chemical building blocks like levulinic acid which can be converted into versatile chemical intermediates.  If biobased chemicals are truly renewable they can replace fossil-based chemicals and help reduce the carbon footprint of consumer products.
