Technologies of butadiene production
out of competition, 95% of the market
On-purpose production. Competing technologies,
but different raw material base
Extraction from cracking products
C4 hydrocarbons processing
Biomass processing
Developing independently from each other
4,9% of the market 0,1% - almost not used
Butadiene -by-product in the
production of ethylene

Market trends• The production of butadiene in
relation to ethylene falls in the world • In ten years the decline was more
than 10%• The reduction will continue in the
long term perspective• In North America, the decline reached
35% in relation to ethylene
• Strong price volatility observed during last years

• However, in open sources there is no information on the significant successes of these projects except Genomatica’s pilot testing in 2016.
• This suggests that the "Ethanol to butadiene" project is at a more advanced stage and can be commercialized much earlier
