GELEEN, the Netherlands - News outlet Biofuels Digest gave its Chemical of the Year award to bio-succinic acid, naming producers BioAmber and Reverdia. Reverdia’s 10,000-tons-per-year commercial Biosuccinium™ plant was credited as well as its Biosuccinium licensing offering.
Biofuels Digest wrote, “The acid was the first non-fossil, feedstock-derived chemical building block that allows customers in the chemical industry to choose a biobased alternative with a lower eco-footprint for a broad range of applications, from packaging to footwear.”
