Global Bioenergies was founded in October 2008 by Marc Delcourt and Philippe Marlière.

In February 2009, the company raised 3,2M€ (4,6M$) from Masseran Gestion, the VC subsidiary of “Caisse d’Epargne” (now BPCE), one of the 3 largest banks in France.

In 2009, a proof of concept was obtained for the process leading to the bio-production of isobutene. A lab-scale prototype was built in 2010.
