“…The global value of the 1,3-PDO market was USD 310 million in 2014 and it is likely to reach USD 620 million by 2021 as shown in Table 1 [181]. Global 1,3 propanediol market demand was 146 kilo tons in 2014 and is expected to reach 225.9 kilo tons by 2022 [182, 183]. In 1995–1996, after Shell and DuPont commercialized a 1,3-PDO-based polyester (polytrimethylene terephthalate, PTT), 1,3-PDO evolved from a fine to a bulk polymer [184].…”

The demand for fossil derivate fuels and chemicals has increased, augmenting concerns on climate change, global economic stability, and sustainability on fossil resources. Therefore, the production of fuels and chemicals from alternative and renewable resources has attracted considerable and growing attention. Ethanol is a promising biofuel that can reduce the consumption of gasoline in the transportation sector and related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Lignocellulosic biomass is a promising feedstock to produce bioethanol (cellulosic ethanol) because of its abundance and low cost. Since the conversion of lignocellulose to ethanol is complex and expensive, the cellulosic ethanol price cannot compete with those of the fossil derivate fuels. A promising strategy to lower the production cost of cellulosic ethanol is developing a biorefinery which produces ethanol and other high-value chemicals from lignocellulose. The selection of such chemicals is difficult because there are hundreds of products that can be produced from lignocellulose. Multiple reviews and reports have described a small group of lignocellulose derivate compounds that have the potential to be commercialized. Some of these products are in the bench scale and require extensive research and time before they can be industrially produced. This review examines chemicals and materials with a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of at least 8, which have reached a commercial scale and could be shortly or immediately integrated into a cellulosic ethanol process.

“…1,3-PDO has the potential for strong growth. The global market demand of 1,3-PDO is anticipated to increase by 70% from 146 kilo tons in 2014 to 226 kilo tons in 2020, , corresponding to a global value of USD 620 million by 2021 . To support the industry interest of an environmentally friendly and sustainable manner, numerous efforts were made to increase the global commercial production capacity of biobased 1,3-PDO (77 kton/year presently).…”

The Malaysia petrochemical industry has continued to grow due to its dominance in the global chemical market. The consequential adverse impact on environmental aspects and resource depletion have urged the petrochemical industries to commit to sustainability-driven initiatives such as substitution with renewables and natural processes using biobased feedstock. Nevertheless, many petrochemical industries shy way from investing in such a complex and capital-intensive production process. It is anticipated that capital cost and energy cost can be reduced significantly if the functional group of biobased feedstock matches well with the composition and energy content of the end product. This perspective reviews the technical aspects of the processes for converting vegetable oil-based raw materials into the respective biobased smart drop-in and dedicated chemicals, 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO) and lubricant, attributed to the notable market position of Malaysia petrochemical industries for these products. Vegetable oil-based glycerol is a potential bioderived feedstock for the synthesis of 1,3-PDO. Hitherto, the biotechnological conversion process has been commercialized even though its complexity and capital cost can be further reduced by using microbial consortia, which are highly adaptable to the less stringent continuous glycerol fermentation. The comparatively simple chemical conversion process is yet to be commercialized because of impractical catalyst selectivity and stability under severe operating conditions. On another note, vegetable oils have been proven as a promising feedstock for the production of biolubricants. Despite numerous research efforts, setbacks like process complexity and unrecyclable catalysts are still restricting an economically viable large-scale production of biolubricants from vegetable oil. Palm oil which is abundantly available in Malaysia could continue to be the feasible biobased feedstock for the production of 1,3-PDO and biolubricant, provided sustainable agronomic and manufacturing practices were developed for the cultivation of oil palm and production of palm oil, respectively. With an abundant supply of biobased feedstock, the petrochemical industries, with their market position for chemical products, and the palm oil and oleochemical industries should work hand in hand to green Malaysia's economy through the acceleration of the development of sustainable business in biobased chemicals. The mutually beneficial partnership could only be promoted by the realization of relevant government policies.
