Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

Rennovia is employing cutting-edge technology to adapt chemical catalytic processes, already proven to be scalable and efficient in the refining and chemical industries, for the conversion of biorenewable feedstocks to existing major-market chemicals. This chapter outlines Rennovia’s general approach to the cost-advantaged production of renewable chemicals, and describes the scale-up of Rennovia’s bio-based adipic acid process and how it offers the potential for significant commercial and environmental advantages over the current petrochemical process.
