Highlights from the analysis include the enormity of the opportunity in the renewable chemicals industry ($500+ billion globally, depending on the estimate) especially for producers of both fuels and chemicals.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Snippets from the report below:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Renewable chemicals are a major long-term opportunity \u2013 and it\u2019s completely unsubsidized. The specialty chemicals market alone is worth $500+ billion globally (the precise number depends on how \u201cspecialty\u201d is defined).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>For bioindustrial startups with the flexibility to produce both fuels and chemicals, it\u2019s safe to say that the bulk have gravitated \u2013 mostly, if not entirely \u2013 to the chemicals side.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>At the ultra-premium end of the chemicals value chain, there is a wide range of niche, retail-oriented opportunities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.biofuelsdigest.com\/bdigest\/2014\/06\/02\/too-much-focus-on-biofuels-could-drive-us-renewable-chemicals-industry-abroad\/\">The Digest reported earlier this year on the risk of the renewable chemicals industry looking abroad<\/a> due to the US\u2019s focus on fuels. As major corporations like Coca-Cola and Wal-Mart demand cleaner chemicals to promote being green, they may turn to opportunities overseas if the climate in the US remains hostile toward the chemical industry, according to an article published in Environment &amp; Energy Publishing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/raymondjames.bluematrix.com\/docs\/pdf\/296200d9-c875-4747-b595-c83b73242b15.pdf\">To see the report.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In California, analyst Pavel Molchanov reported on a number of trends identified at the Biobased Che&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","nova_meta_subtitle":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5572],"tags":[5817],"supplier":[1245,690],"class_list":["post-22605","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bio-based","tag-research","supplier-coca-cola-co","supplier-wal-mart"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22605","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22605"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22605\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22605"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22605"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22605"},{"taxonomy":"supplier","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/supplier?post=22605"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
