Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of bio-based 1,4-Butanediol (BDO) production from raw sugar. The two-step process examined is similar to Myriant/JM Davy process. Raw sugar (sucrose) is diluted and sucrose is hydrolyzed into glucose and fructose (invert sugars). The invert sugars are then fermented to produce succinic acid, the intermediate for BDO production. The process generates ammonium sulfate and tetrahydrofuran (THF) as by-products. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) US Patent 8778656, issued to Myriant in 2014 (2) US Patent 20140350308, issued to Johnson Matthey Davy Technologies in 2014 Keywords: Dextrose, Esterification, Methanol, Hydrogenation, Butanedioic Acid
