Biochemicals
The building blocks of sustainable biofuels
Biochemicals play a central role in the transition to renewable energy. At Nedstar, we connect ethanol, its derivatives and advanced bio-based chemicals to create integrated, circular solutions.
By valorising chemical byproducts like fusel oil and promoting second-generation feedstocks, we help our partners:
-
reduce waste
-
increase production efficiency
-
strengthen low-carbon fuel strategies
Every molecule has value — and we make sure it’s utilised.

Frequently Asked Questions
What industries use Nedstar’s biochemicals?
Nedstar’s portfolio supports a wide range of industries, from biofuels and renewable energy to pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food & beverages, cleaning agents, coatings, and fragrances. Each product is carefully selected to meet the unique requirements of its application.
How do biobased chemicals compare to traditional chemicals in performance?
Biochemicals deliver the same high performance and reliability as their traditional fossil-based counterparts, with the added benefit of being derived from renewable sources. In many applications, from solvents and intermediates to fuel additives, they match conventional quality standards while offering a lower environmental impact and contributing to a more sustainable supply chain.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
MOQs depend on the product and region, but they usually start with 1,000L in Europe and 20,000L in the rest of the world. Whether you require bulk volumes or smaller test batches, our team will work with you to find the best possible supply solution.
What specifications can I expect for Nedstar’s products?
For each biochemical, we provide detailed technical data sheets (TDS) and certificates of analysis (COA) upon request. These documents outline key specifications such as purity levels, composition, physical properties, and compliance with international standards, ensuring clients receive consistent, reliable quality.
How does Nedstar maintain quality across its global supply chain?
Our team works closely with a trusted network of producers and laboratories to monitor quality and traceability at every step. We apply strict quality control protocols and continuously audit our supply chain to guarantee that products meet industry expectations.
Can Nedstar develop tailored biochemical solutions?
Yes. Beyond standard products, we work with clients to source or develop customised biochemical solutions that align with their unique requirements, whether that’s specific purity, blending, or integration into new product development.
