This work was supported by the Laboratory Directed Research and Development Program at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), a multiprogram national laboratory operated by Battelle for the U.S. Department of Energy under Contract DE-AC06-76RL01830. Part of the research described in this paper was performed at the Enviromnental Molecular Science Laboratory, a national scientific user facility located at PNNL. 

This work was funded under a Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) grant administered by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). PNNL is operated by Battelle for the US Department of Energy. We acknowledge the help of April Getty with 13C NMR and Catherine Petersen with MALDI Mass Spectra. Keith Peterson assisted in reactor support and Tom Wietsma in analytical support. Finally we appreciate the help of Jim White and Dennis Miller for helpful discussions.

Over the past 20 years, The U.S. Department of Energy s (DOE s) Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) has developed the patented MEO technology using cerium as a metal catalyst. CerOx Corporation holds as exclusive, world-wide license to market the proprietary, cerium-based MEO process. The first commercial CerOx system was sold to the University of Nevada in Reno. The technology is commercially available. 

This is an emerging technology being researched at the U.S. Department of Energy s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. To date, EBDP has only been tested in the laboratory, but field tests are expected in the future. Although the process is ex situ, the equipment can be transported for on-site processing.

As shown in Table 4, the real promise of succinic acid lies in its derivatives. A DOE-funded collaboration among Oak Ridge National Laboratory Argonne National Laboratory Pacific Northwest National Laboratory National Renewable Energy Laboratory and Applied CarboChemicals, Inc. investigated succinic acid derivatives such as tetra-hydrofuran, 1,4-butanediol, y-butyrolactone, and N-methyl pyrrolidone. More recently, Applied Carbochemicals has pursued succinate salts that can serve as de-icers and herbicide additives (40,41).
