ZEON：
4月13日，我们开发了世界上第一个可以有效地利用生物质生产丁二烯的新技术。
通过“生物单体生产研究小组”的联合研究，开发成功。
什么是丁二烯？
用作汽车轮胎的原料。
用作合成橡胶的主要原料。
目前，它是作为石脑油热解/副产物生产的。
这次，我们建立了新开发的丁二烯生产技术。
它可以减少对石油的依赖并有助于减少二氧化碳。
生物单体生产研究团队：
丁二烯生产的新技术：
通过使用新的人工途径和酶成功创建了具有出色的丁二烯生产能力的细胞。
这使得“经过比传统代谢途径便宜的中间体”成为可能。
通过结合新开发的酶的知识，可以显着降低丁二烯发酵的生产成本。
当天发表在自然科学领域的研究论文“ Nature Communications”中。
异戊二烯生产的新技术：
对于合成橡胶的主要原材料异戊二烯，我们创建了具有出色异戊二烯生产能力的电池。
该研究小组将于2018年构建世界上第一个新的人工途径，
通过合成高活性酶来创建具有异戊二烯生产能力的细胞。
我们成功地做到了“从作为原料的生物质（糖）到在该单元中生产异戊二烯的过程始终如一”。

Yokohama Rubber Develops World’s First Technology for Producing Butadiene from Biomass
Tokyo—The Yokohama Rubber Co., Ltd.,
today announced that it has developed the world’s first technology capable of efficiently producing butadiene from a biomass.
The breakthrough
was achieved by the “Bio-monomer Production Laboratory” jointly established with the RIKEN and Zeon Corporation.
Butadiene
is a core raw material used to make synthetic rubber used in automobile tires and other products.
Currently, industrial butadiene is produced as a by-product of naphtha pyrolysis.
As such, the development of an independent butadiene production technology
will help reduce dependence on petroleum and lower carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, a major cause of global warming.
The joint research team
has succeeded in creating cells with excellent butadiene-producing ability using new artificial pathways and enzymes.
This makes it possible to go through cheaper intermediates than conventional metabolic pathways,
and by incorporating the knowledge of the enzymes that have been developed thus far, the cost of butadiene fermentative production will be significantly reduced.
The team’s research results
will be published in April 13 (at 7pm in Japan time) in Nature Communications, an online journal based in London and elsewhere that publishes high-quality research from all areas of the natural sciences.
The team also has succeeded in producing polybutadiene rubber from the butadiene produced by the world‘s first fermentation production using this new technology.
