More on Bio-Succinic Acid

The news is that BASF and Purac are teaming up for a venture in succinic acid. Interestingly the process will absorb carbon dioxide, so it probably is an attempt to gain greenhouse gas credits as well.

Purac is a big lactic acid producer, and they have been working with BASF for two years.

Succinic acid could be a major building block for C-4 chemicals.
