Next-Generation BioBased Chemicals Summit February 8-10 San Diego, CA
Bio-based products are gaining market share in the $3 trillion chemicals industry. High value, low volume products made out of processed biomass or excreted by designer organisms are starting to compete with chemicals made from oil and gas. Global strategics are making bets, some worth hundreds of millions, into firms with revolutionary “cell factory” platforms, aiming to produce cheaper “drop in” chemicals. Biofuel project developers with tight, volatile margins are looking at bio-products revenue to keep their heads above water, and owners of feedstocks are seeing entirely new revenue prospects, or even converting costs into revenue (C02 and waste stream disposal). As this new value chain boots up, driven by the biotech explosion, rising oil prices and carbon concerns, entirely new industry relationships are being forged. READ MORE
