Honeywell'S UOP Establishes Renewable Energy and Chemicals Unit

03-Nov-2006

UOP LLC, a Honeywell company, announced it has established a new business unit dedicated to introducing new technology for processing renewable energy sources in existing or new petroleum refineries worldwide.

The new unit, called Renewable Energy and Chemicals, will accelerate UOP's already existing efforts to develop renewable energy technologies by developing profitable ways refineries can use UOP's petroleum processing technologies to convert bio-feedstocks, such as vegetable oils, greases and certain waste products, into fuel and chemicals.

Jennifer Holmgren has been named director of the new unit and will report to Carlos A. Cabrera, president and CEO of UOP. Holmgren most recently served as UOP's director of exploratory and fundamental research.
