Bio-based Acrylic Acid
The acrylic acid industry has seen significant change over the past two decades. With the closure of acetylene-based and acrylonitrile-based plants in the 1990s, the production of acrylic acid via two-stage propylene oxidation became the preferred and dominant method of production for acrylic acid producers, globally. Currently, licensors and technology holders of two-stage propylene oxidation technology are looking to improve their processes with new catalyst formulations, modifications to reactor design, and/or establishing operational best-practices through newly optimized parameters. The next decade, however, will give rise to a new wave of technologies – particularly, bio-based routes to acrylic acid. At present, there is no industrialized bio-based acrylic acid sold in Europe. This project takes the petrochemical-based acrylic acid sales data to evaluate the potential market for bio-based acrylic acid. Analyze its future development space.
