Biorenewable Insights: Isoprene and Isoprenoids (2016 Program)

This report analyzes developments in bio-based isoprene and isoprenoid technologies.  Isoprene and isoprenoids derived from bio-based materials or processes can be converted into a number of chemical products - potentially improving the GHG profile of the process, including everything from rubber, to personal care products, to flavors and fragrances.  This study assesses the technical, commercial, and economic aspects of producing isoprene and isopreniods.
