Overview of biotechnological processes for bulk chemicals and intermediates

Purpose, goals:

Provide an overview of relevant processes and products, outline potential of bt

Compile information scattered in diverse sources

Provide a structure, organise the processes/products into categories

basis for putting results of following workpackages into perspective

deliverable: chapter 1 of report, written as 1-2 journal articles

Work done so far

List of relevant products/processes

list of products (139) divided into three categories:

- I: relevant, complies with definition (58)- II: to be discussed whether relevant (32)- III: not relevant, because does not comply with definition (49)

some data sets updated

Questions regarding inclusion/exclusion are still open

Structure: platform chemicals and products derived thereof

Input acetic acid, starch, UU overview

Questions for discussion

Proceed with presented model structure?

Biotechnical production, chemical production?

How deep do we go into the analysis, borderline/intersection to other workpackages?

Sources of information?
