Applications with Automotive Impacts
• Green Drilling Muds & Frac Fluids, e.g. – less toxic and bio-degradable, agriculture-based solvents and
lubricants and forestry-based nanomaterials (make supply chain more environmentally sustainable in order to retain a social license)
• Feedstock for Bio-based C4 Production – e.g. use C5 sugar stream from hemi-cellulose fraction in
existing forestry pulp mills:
• For isoprene / butadiene production > rubber
• For succinic acid / adipic acid production > nylon
• Butadiene Demand Destruction – e.g. PP / wood composite replacement for ABS
