Abundant quantity, low cost, organic acids: The Digest’s 2016 8-Slide Guide to Rivertop Renewables

Rivertop has developed a way to make glucaric acid, glucarates and other biodegradable chemicals from renewable resources in abundant quantity and at a low cost. These and other renewable chemicals can reduce society’s dependence on oil, gas, and minerals and limit the amount of persistent chemicals in the environment.

The opportunity provided by Rivertop’s technology platform is significant: The economical production of glucarate alone — one of the top twelve renewable chemical building blocks identified by the U.S. Department of Energy ”could address a market of over 9 billion lb/yr with values between $0.85 and $2.20/lb.”
