This report presents a cost analysis of bio-based Succinic Acid production from raw sugar using a fermentation process. The process examined is similar to Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (KAIST) process. In this process, raw sugar (sucrose) is diluted and sucrose is hydrolyzed into glucose and fructose (invert sugars). The invert sugars are then fermented to produce Succinic Acid. This report examines one-time costs associated with the construction of a Germany-based plant and the continuing costs associated with the daily operation of such a plant. More specifically, it discusses: * Capital Investment, broken down by: - Total fixed capital required, divided in production unit (ISBL); infrastructure (OSBL) and contingency - Alternative perspective on the total fixed capital, divided in direct costs, indirect costs and contingency - Working capital and costs incurred during industrial plant commissioning and start-up * Production cost, broken down by: - Manufacturing variable costs (raw materials, utilities) - Manufacturing fixed costs (maintenance costs, operating charges, plant overhead, local taxes and insurance) - Depreciation and corporate overhead costs * Raw materials consumption, products generation and labor requirements * Process block flow diagram and description of industrial site installations (production unit and infrastructure) This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): WO Patent 2009082050, issued to Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (KAIST) in 2009 Keywords: Butanedioic Acid, Dicarboxylic Acid

This report presents alternatives for producing Succinic Acid from different feedstocks and a cost comparison of these alternatives, across different countries. More specifically, the report compares the costs of Succinic Acid production through the following pathways: * Pathway 1: Succinic Acid Production from Maleic Anhydride * Pathway 2: Bio-Succinic Acid Production from Crude Glycerol via Fermentation * Pathway 3: Bio-Succinic Acid Production from Raw Sugar via Fermentation In Pathway 1, Succininc Acid is produced via maleic anhydride hydrogenation. Pathways 2 and 3 are biochemical paths that use renewable feedstocks in the production of Bio-Succinic Acid. The glycerol used in Pathway 2 is obtained as by-product of biodiesel plants. The analysis presented in this report includes: * A comparison of the economic potential of the pathways listed above in several countries, comprising: * Comparative analysis of capital costs * Comparative analysis of production costs * Comparison between product price and raw materials costs of each pathway * An overview of each production pathway, including: * Raw material(s) consumption figures and product(s) generated * Related technology licensors and block flow diagram of representative industrial processes Keywords: Hydrogenation, Hydration, Sucrose, Sugar Inversion, Anaerobic Fermentation, BioAmber, Myriant, Reverdia, Succinity, DSM
