ABOUT US

Sustainable, Affordable, Drop-In Chemicals

Building a New American Hub for Bio-Based Chemicals

Kemvera is building a resilient, petroleum-independent chemical supply chain based in the American Midwest to provide cost-effective solutions that decarbonize the acetyl value chain. 

Using abundant domestic corn ethanol as a renewable feedstock, we're creating a cost-competitive alternative to today's concentrated Gulf Coast supply chain, thus bringing production closer to customers while reducing dependence on fossil-based imports and feedstocks.
