Bio Acetaldehyde from Sekab is used by industrial customers who want to reduce climate impact in their value chains by replacing fossil-based raw materials with bio-based alternatives. As a European producer, Sekab supplies Bio Acetaldehyde based on bio-based ethanol to customers within the European process industry.
The product is chemically identical to fossil-based acetaldehyde and has the same functional properties, but is based on bio-based ethanol and produced using renewable bioenergy. Bio Acetaldehyde can therefore be used as a drop-in solution in existing chemical processes.
Acetaldehyde, also known as ethanal, is an organic chemical compound used as a chemical intermediate in a wide range of industrial applications. The substance is part of several chemical value chains and is used as a raw material in the production of other chemicals.
In its bio-based form, acetaldehyde has the same chemical structure and functionality as fossil-based acetaldehyde. The difference lies in the origin of the raw material.
Acetaldehyde from Sekab is produced through catalytic oxidation of ethanol in a continuous industrial process. Production takes place in a closed system powered by renewable bioenergy. The process is designed to meet high requirements for safe handling and stable operation.
By combining renewable raw materials with renewable bioenergy, Sekab can offer acetaldehyde with the same chemical properties as fossil-based alternatives, but with a renewable origin and lower climate impact.
Acetaldehyde is a reactive chemical that requires planned handling and logistics. Sekab has extensive industrial experience in producing and supplying acetaldehyde and has established routines adapted to the properties of the substance at industrial scale.
Through controlled handling and planned logistics, acetaldehyde can be managed while maintaining quality and safety throughout the supply chain.
Sekab’s Bio Acetaldehyde is based on 100 percent bio-based raw material and has a lower climate impact than fossil-based acetaldehyde.
Sekab provides verified climate calculations and CO₂ values that can be used in customers’ climate reporting.
Below are the certifications and documentation available for Bio Acetaldehyde from Sekab.
Sekab is certified according to ISCC PLUS and uses ISCC-certified bio-based ethanol as a raw material. The certification covers raw material handling, mass balance and documentation, enabling Sekab to supply bio-based acetaldehyde with accompanying ISCC documentation.

Acetaldehyde has a wide range of applications and is a raw material in the manufacture of many everyday products, such as paint binders, plasticisers and superabsorbents in baby diapers.
Acetaldehyde is also used in the manufacture of various types of building materials, fire protection paints, synthetic lubricants and explosives. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is used, among other things, in the manufacture of vitamins, sleeping aids and sedatives. Acetaldehyde is also often used as a base when producing acetic acid, which is also a basic chemical with many uses.
In the food industry, Acetaldehyde is used in the manufacture of preservatives and flavourings and occurs naturally in fruit and fruit juices. Acetaldehyde arises naturally during fermentation and is found in low levels in foodstuffs such as milk products, soy products, pickled vegetables and non-alcoholic beverages.
Acetaldehyde is produced through catalytic oxidation of bio-based ethanol in an industrial process powered by renewable bioenergy.
Acetaldehyde has properties that require adapted storage, planned logistics and controlled handling in order to maintain product quality in industrial applications.
No. Bio-based acetaldehyde is chemically identical to fossil-based acetaldehyde. The difference lies in the origin of the raw material.
ISCC certification verifies raw material origin, production processes, traceability and related climate data throughout the supply chain.
