Updated Reports Examining Butanediol Manufacturing Costs

Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Butanediol production costs. Each Intratec Commodity Production Cost report listed below is a comprehensive study of a specific Butanediol production process and related Butanediol production costs, covering three key aspects:

  • A complete description of the Butanediol production process examined
  • An in-depth analysis of the related Butanediol plant capital cost (Capex)
  • An evaluation of the respective Butanediol plant operating costs (Opex)

All reports are based on the most recent economic data available (Q2 2024).

Bio-Butanediol Production from Glucose (Direct Fermentation)

This report presents the economics of bio-based 1,4-Butanediol (BDO) production from glucose syrup in a plant located in the United States. This process, similar to the one proposed by Genomatica, consists in a direct fermentation of glucose syrup, producing BDO, which is then submitted to purifying steps.
