  Chief Technology Officer

  ​​Circa is a renewable chemicals company with the scalable technology to produce unique and highly valuable bio-based chemicals. Our Furacell™ production process takes abundant waste biomass and makes a platform molecule, levoglucosenone (LGO).From this versatile building block, multiple sustainable bio-based chemicals have been developed to replace unsustainable fossil-based chemicals in a wide range of applications. Our bio-based solvent Cyrene™, derived from LGO, is greener, safer and often performs better than traditional toxic solvents used in paints, coatings, battery and textile applications as well as many more industrial processes. Circa Group AS is incorporated in Norway with its head office in Oslo and listed on Euronext with the ticker code CIRCA. Show less
