Lux Bio-based Materials and Chemicals Intelligence: Planned State of the Market Reports
Report title Date Description
State of the Bio- Based Materials and Chemicals Space Q1 2012
Though many companies are targeting the same bio-based platform chemicals: succinic acid, adipic acid, butanol, terephthalic acid, isobutene, isoprene, BDO etc., these innovators are unique with respect to technology, business development, and maturity. To better understand the dynamics among start ups in this space, and rank each one against its peers, we’ll build Lux Innovation Grids, provide updates on partnerships and investments, and comment on trends and white spaces.
BBMC Capacity Update (& launch of BBMC Tracker) Q2 2013
Complete update on the scale and status of bio-based materials intermediates and chemicals. The comprehensive overview will include North America and South America, Europe, Asia, and developments
- elsewhere. Landscape will include capital invested in plants, capacity in 2011, and projections to 2015,
2010, 2025, and 2035 under three scenarios (reduction in growth, sustained low growth, bio-based boom). Analysis will cover trends by region, feedstock, conversion technology, and relative to existing markets.
Pretreatment of Cellulose to Sugars (x-tag with AF) Q3 2013
Systematic evaluation of tech, costs and estimates, and business execution of companies, compared and
- contrasted. We will pick the winners and losers, as well as highlight challenges and make clear the
- pportunities.
Leading Bio-Based Materials and Chemicals Applications Q4 2013
Focus on applications that are winning the minds and hearts of end-users for having performance attributes above and beyond incumbents, particularly in bio-lubricants, bio-based plasticizers, personal care relevant products, and other bio-based materials and chemicals. Analysis will include an assessment
- f commercialization success on these applications with lessons to be learned for rolling out applications
with other bio-based products.
