BioConSepT publishes reports on 2nd generation production of key bio-chemicals
In the Netherlands, BioConSepT has published a report on biobased production of succinic acid, itaconic acid and 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid. It used interviews with 60 key players from the international chemical industry to put together a a meaningful report of the current market potential and the most attractive end use applications.
BioConSepT is a 13M€ EU project, coordinated by TNO (Netherlands) which aims to produce consumer goods out of biomass, that does not compete with the food chain. The report states that processes which convert 2nd generation biomass (lignocellulose and oils & fats) into valuable chemicals will be 30% cheaper and 30% more sustainable than the corresponding chemical routes, or the biotechnology processes starting from 1st generation feedstocks.
