Qore

Formed through a joint venture by Cargill and Helm AG, Qore helps leading brands replace fossil-based chemistries with bio-derived intermediates. At the heart of the joint venture is the production of Qira, the next-generation biobased 1,4-butanediol (BDO). Made biologically through the fermentation of plant-based sugars, Qira can help save greenhouse gas emissions when replacing today’s widely used chemical intermediates made from traditional fossil sources. Qira is used the same way as its fossil counterpart, but with significantly better environmental performance. Qore and Qira are trademarks of Qore LLC.
