Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of bio-based 1,4-Butanediol (BDO) production from raw sugar. The process examined consists of two steps: a fermentation step similar to Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (KAIST) process and a succinic acid hydrogenation step similar to Invista. In this process, raw sugar (sucrose) is hydrolyzed into glucose and fructose (invert sugars). The invert sugars are fermented to produce succinic acid, which is then hydrogenated to produce BDO. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) WO Patent 2009082050, issued to Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (KAIST) in 2009 (2) US Patent 6008384, issued to DuPont in 1999 (assigned to Invista in 2007) Keywords: BDO, Glucose Fermentation, Butanedioic Acid, DuPont
