Gefn is an innovative Icelandic chemical engineering company that specializes in the production and application of renewable specialty chemicals, solvents, and intermediates. Their technology offers sustainable and CO2 binding processes, allowing for the local valorization of by-products and waste from the processing of oleo-feedstocks, as well as the utilization of climate-neutral CO2. Gefn's dynamic and synergetic processes significantly improve resource efficiencies and eliminate the use of fossil-based feedstocks.

By converting glycerol, fatty acids, and triglycerides through reactions with alcohols, carboxylic acids, and CO2, they produce valuable carbonates and esters that can be used as specialty chemicals, solvents, and intermediates. Their environmentally friendly solutions are suitable for a wide range of applications including cleaning products, personal care products, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, paints, fuel additives, batteries, and nutritional products. Gefn's technology also enables the efficient replacement of fossil-based specialty chemicals and solvents.

With a focus on sustainability and circular economy principles, Gefn is constantly developing its technology to decrease reliance on fossil-based hydrocarbons and virgin oleo-feedstocks. They have a network of strategic supply partners and grant funders who support their research, engineering, and commercialization activities. Contact Gefn at hello@gefn.
