Chemical Building Blocks from Renewables

Marifaith Hackett, SRI Consulting, IHS Inc., Menlo Park, CA, USA, 2011, PDF file, 160 p., USD 15,000

Driven in part by manufacturers seeking to create more sustainable products, bio (plant)-based feedstocks are beginning to challenge the dominance of fossil fuels as starting materials for chemicals, according to a new report from information and analysis provider IHS. The resulting chemicals are the building blocks of renewably sourced plastics, fibres, coatings and other everyday products. The report, entitled Chemical Building Blocks from Renew­ables — SRI Consulting Safe & Sustainable Chemicals Report, examines economic and market drivers for more than 20 emerging and established bio-based chemicals. It describes technology developers, markets, applications, and manufacturing processes (both bio-based and conventional) for each chemical.
