<strong>Butanediol</strong> Production Cost Reports<br />

<strong>Butanediol</strong> (BDO) refers to all butylene glycol isomers. The 1,4 <strong>Butanediol</strong>, the most common of them, is a versatile intermediate for the<br />

chemical industry mainly used in the production of polyurethanes and polybutylene terephthalate.<br />

BDO can be produced from different raw materials. The conventional method starts from acetylene. Other processes use propylene oxide,<br />

maleic anhydride or 1,3-butadiene. The newest technologies being developed are bio-based pathways, which rely on bio-based succinic<br />

acid derived from biomass or a sugar substrate.<br />

Intratec portfolio includes reports examining <strong>Butanediol</strong> production cost, with in-depth analysis of specific production processes and highlevel<br />

comparisons of different production routes.<br />
