Outlook and Future Prospects

In this chapter, the state-of-the-art developments and technological achievements of the biological route for the two important diols (2,3-BD and 1,4-BD) production have been summarized. Espeeially, the key technologies involved in the production of the two bio-based diols, including catalysis, metabohc engineering, and synthetic biology were highhghted. Furthermore, the economic outlook and future prospects on the bio-based BDs production are discussed. 

Hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP) is a valuable platform chemical that can be produced from glucose or glycerol by biological processes. This chapter provides an overview and the current status of microbial 3-HP production. It also describes various constraints of microbial 3-HP production and possible solutions. Finally, economic outlook and future prospects of biological 3-HP production are discussed. 

The market value of a firm is a reflection of what investors think of the company s past performance and future outlook. This perception is portrayed through valuation ratios. Company stock prices fluctuate based on investor sentiment thus stock prices are generally higher when investors are pleased with the company s past performance and future prospects. Valuation ratios generally include the number of company shares available and stock prices.

This Outlook has tried to evaluate supported IL materials with respect to their prospect for future commercial appHcations. Using the lead-questions of the diffusion of innovation methodology, it appears quite likely that SILP and SCILL technologies will develop into one of the preferred ways for the industrial application of ILs in the future.
