Global Cellulosic N-butanol Market Research Report
- Report Code: CH 1717
- Publish Date: Upcoming
Cellulosic n-butanol is a four carbon straight chain alcohol. It is derived from the feedstocks that are corn, sugarcane, wood, bagasse, glycerol etc. The report covers application areas such as Butyl acetate, Butyl acrylate, Glycol ether, plasticizers, direct solvents and others. Due to volatility in crude oil prices and its non-renewable nature cellulosic n-butanol is growing as a better option to conventional n-butanol which is produced by oxo synthesis of propylene with syngas. The global market has grown significantly due to grown demand from the Asia pacific region. It is useful as a chemical intermediate and as a solvent for ambient dry and baking coatings. Cellulosic ethanol market is worth $XX million in 2014 and is estimated to reach $XX million in 2020.
Butanol on account of its longer hydrocarbon chain can also be used as a fuel in an internal combustion engine. It is more similar to gasoline than it is to ethanol. It has been proven and demonstrated that Butanol can work in gasoline engines. It can be produced from biomass as well as fossil fuels, however biobutanol and petrobutanol have the same chemical properties. The market is at present in nascent phase however it is expected to grow at a healthy CAGR as many companies are planning to invest in Biobutanol. Cobalt Technologies and American Process have forged an agreement to build the world’s first industrial-scale cellulosic biorefinery for manufacturing biobutanol. New emerging cost effective technologies such as direct cellulose-to-butanol conversion are bringing down the cost of cellulosic biofuels, which was earlier very high.
Butyl acetate is a major application of n-butanol whereas direct solvents which are used in paints, coatings, varnishes, adhesives, inks etc. are growing at a faster rate. It is also used in the production of amino resins used as curing agents in paints and coatings, and as an intermediate in the production of plasticizers and amines. China dominates the Asia pacific region for n-butanol demand with nearly one-third consumption. Major production areas have been developed in North America and Europe region.
