Biological base material to replace difficult key

Since this year, as the global biological technology research and development base material breakthrough unceasingly, all over the world and reignite enthusiasm for investment in the field. The personage inside course of study points out, although biological base material industry started from the laboratory to the market, but whether breakthrough growth bottleneck, play an important role in the chemical industry, is an open question.
Some chemicals giant has biological base material to construction projects. It is understood that the Belgian solvay company, a subsidiary of the company is located in the pooh Thailand mata biological base of 100000 tons/year of epoxy chloropropane device has recently started commissioning, a by-product of the project with the biofuel made from vegetable oils refined glycerol as raw material. Dutch Mr Wan Tim (Avantium) company cooperate with danone is high exploitation and utilization of renewable materials production of polyethylene foam vacuum flask, these bottles will be used for danone bottled water business in the world. Other products include biological based polymers such as poly (lactic acid, polyethylene and polyethylene terephthalate oxalic ester, and some biological chemicals, such as butyl glycol, acrylic acid, adipic acid and succinic acid, etc.
All kinds of investment demand and the progress of the commercialization promoted the bio-based materials and chemicals in the field of science and technology innovation, and open the breakthrough for financing and enter the market. However, some of the personage inside course of study thinks, whether from the cost consideration, or in a wider range of value of green environmental protection ways, that does not make biological base material, and chemical industry has been a long-term success.
Dutch biological renewable business platform, chairman of Ronnie cloth said: "there is no doubt that over a period of time, the customer of bio-based chemicals consumption demand will exceed supply." He pointed out that some companies will take the lead in put out biodegradable packaging materials, other companies because of the cost into consideration, only when the market is mature and stable, can choose in this area. Recent bio-based material production, therefore, cannot completely meet the potential market growth. This kind of condition can make the biological base material stable prices in the market.
Raw material supply and logistics problems is always need to breakthrough the bottleneck of bio-based chemicals industry. In general, in sugar cane, palm oil and corn, such as gardens, especially Brazil, parts of Asia and North America, bio-based material production, need not too much to consider logistics problems. But, in Europe and other regions, raw materials are scattered, in this case, the transport a large number of low density of biomass is very difficult. At present, the demonstration project of the production scale in the tens of thousands of tons/year is not too big difficulties in the aspect of the service, once the scale of production to achieve commercialization of hundreds of thousands of tons/year, in the procurement and logistics challenges will not allow to ignore.
Technology and sustainable development expert from Alan bruggink said, because there are a problem, procurement and logistics in Europe, even if the government will bio-based materials as a substitute for petrochemical materials, ambitiously ready in this area, the usage of such materials could not too big. Only solve the problem of the procurement and logistics, bio-based materials can play a big role.
