Low-pH yeast technology enables economic commercial production
Creating TrustSelect best technology and use through entire scale-up
Best LCASimple & robust process
Flexible feedstock(1st and 2nd generation)
Consistent QualityBest economicsLow-pH yeast technology
Select best technology and use through entire scale-up – avoid changes halfway
Large CO2 reduction potential with Biosuccinium™
Create TrustBiosuccinium™ Footprint Benchmarks
Executed by the Copernicus Institute at Utrecht University, the Netherlands
The adipic acid data is for a best in class plant with 98% N2O abatement.
Data is published in the Wiley Online Library (August 2013)
Provide consistent supply with growing production capacity
Create TrustStatus Supply Chain
• Current Biosuccinium™ capacity about 10 kta• Expansion plans for next facility of about 50 kta by 2016

Create Trust
Select best technology and use through entire scale-up – avoid changes halfway
No shortcuts in scale-up– Pilot– Demo– First commercial
Don’t solve everything at once but stick to
1. Quality2. COGS & LCA – minimize side stream
production3. Productivity increase
Be on-site during start-up – seamless transfer lab -> pilot -> demo -> commercial plant – no shortcuts

In-house application development Support customer application development activities Identify impact on processes and downstream products Develop demonstrator end-use products Create market pull
Create Market PullBiosuccinium™ Qualified in Multiple Applications
TPU = thermoplastic polyurethane; PU = polyurethanes; PBS = polybutylene succinate: new biopolymer; Spandex / Elastane = elastic fibers
Polyurethanes Footwear mid and outer soles:
30 % bio-based
Alkyd paint Resin: biobased from 66% to 96%
– several renewables used Coating with dimethyl succinate
solvent: – reduction drying time ~40%.– hardness developed faster
