✦ Synopsis

use of succinic acid as a bio-derived feedstock for the production of butanediol, tetrahydrofuran and gamma-butyrolactone. The MoU covers two areas of cooperation between Myriant and Davy, first the non-exclusive testing and approval of Myriant's product succinic acid as a feedstock to the Davy process and second an exclusive joint development agreement with the purpose of integrating the Myriant bio succinic acid technology with the Davy butanediol technology to minimise the cost of recovery and purification of the succinic acid for the production of bio butanediol.
