Ethylene is one of the world’s most important olefin intermediates in the petrochemical industry and is widely used in the production of plastics and other chemical derivatives. 

 

Atol, a technology developed in a collaboration between Axens, IFP Energies nouvelles (IFPEN), and TotalEnergies, utilises a **unique catalyst and energy recovery system to produce costeffective bio-ethylene** from renewable sources, bringing competitive prospects to decarbonise the industry.
