The year 2017 saw several announcements that point towards a more focused intent to construct demonstration and commercial manufacturing facilities for renewable chemicals. However, it was also a year of uncertainty with several established players and buyers, such as M&G, Abengoa, DowDuPont, Greencol, Toyota Tsusho, Coca-Cola, Solvay, and TerraVia, among others, either exiting their biobased chemicals and biofuels businesses due to financial difficulties or retreating to the sidelines as economics for renewables continue to struggle against the backdrop of low crude oil and petrochemical prices.

ABOUT TECNON ORBICHEM’S BIOMATERIALS SERVICES
Handbook of Commercial Bio-based Chemicals
Each month in Bio-Materials and Intermediates Chemical Business Focus, in addition to the news items and reviews of developments, there is a Chemical Profile, which offers a comprehensive yet compact summary of the market for a particular chemical – in both its petrochemical and biochemical forms. We have now combined the profiles we have compiled over the past three years into a Handbook, which contains reviews of the research and development that is taking place for the chemicals listed below.
This is an essential compendium of successful and close-to-successful bio-based materials. Tecnon OrbiChem hopes that it will become an essential companion to the researcher looking for concrete examples of successful bio-innovation, and an inspiration to the forward-looking entrepreneurs seeking to help society prepare for a sustainable way of life.
