Myriant Corporation manufactures specialty chemicals from renewable feedstocks. We harness nature’s power to build complex molecules; building blocks for plastics, coatings, urethanes and other products. Our integrated process allows biobased products to substitute existing petroleum-based chemicals at a comparable performance and price. This proprietary biobased process also uses less energy, consumes carbon dioxide and creates less pollution than conventional oil-based manufacturing. Our facility in Lake Providence Louisiana will produce over 30 million lbs of biobased succinic acid beginning in 2012 and will be the world’s first and largest biobased succinic acid plant.
