== Technology == |
|||
Elevance converts natural oils (such as soybean, canola, corn and sunflower oils) into chemicals and waxes using a catalyst technology. The technology is based on research conducted by [[Robert H. Grubbs|Dr. Robert H.

Through the process, Elevance produces a wide range of chemical products, including [[alpha-olefins]] and internal-olefins, novel specialty chemicals, [[oleochemical|oleochemicals]] and modified [[triglycerides| triglycerides]].<sup>[http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/chemistry/laureates/2005/grubbs-interview.html 7]</sup> |
