FuranTek was born from years of research at the University of the Basque Country (EHU), with the ambition of transforming scientific innovation into sustainable chemical solutions.

Our team has developed a proprietary catalytic technology to produce high-purity bio-based 1,5-pentanediol from lignocellulosic biomass-derived feedstocks, offering a competitive and more sustainable alternative to conventional petrochemical routes.

Today, FuranTek is progressing through pilot-scale development, bringing our technology closer to commercial production and contributing to the transition toward a more sustainable chemical industry.
