Anellotech announces today that Jean-Pierre Burzynski, who served as Director of the Process Business Unit at IFP Energies nouvelles (IFPEN), which is a major research and innovation center in the fields of energy, transport and the environment, has been retained as an R&D Consultant and appointed as a Strategic Advisor to Anellotech’s Board of Directors.
These appointments come on the heels of Anellotech’s long-standing strategic partnership with IFPEN, materialized by their recent achievement of the development of the Bio-TCat™ technology, an efficient thermal catalytic process converting non-food renewable biomass feedstocks into aromatics.
“I’m very pleased to be joining Anellotech and serving as technical advisor,” says Burzynski. “We have always shared the mutual goal to develop and commercialize technologies for the efficient chemical recycling of mixed plastic waste into light olefins and aromatics, as well as the production of cost-competitive renewable chemicals and fuels. I’m excited to help accelerate these efforts.”
While at IFPEN, Burzynski, who holds advanced degrees in chemistry and fluid dynamics, drove research and innovation (R&I) efforts in areas like petrochemicals, natural gas conversion, biofuels, bioproducts and plastic recycling. During his tenure, he was responsible for the development of many processes related to renewable fuels and bioproducts. Many of these processes are commercialized, licensed and implemented in various industries throughout the world and have contributed to the success of IFPEN Group.
