Bioethanol by Merck - initiative for green solvents by Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany

It is a high-quality, non-synthetic ethanol produced from sugar cane. Improved production methods make the price comparable to conventional petrochemical-based ethanol. Because sugar cane is a renewable raw material, a reliable supply of bioethanol is guaranteed. The new product can be used in place of the synthetic ethanol previously used for many types of analytical application in the lab.

Bioethanol is a result of the sustainability initiative launched by Merck. The aim of the initiative is to substitute synthetic chemicals with non-synthetic ones based on renewable raw materials. With this, the Darmstadt-based chemical and pharmaceuticals company is hoping to make a contribution towards environmental protection. Product safety for users is also increased, because bioethanol is much less toxic than its petrochemical-based equivalent.
