“…119 Furthermore, 1,3-propanediol can be produced from glycerol using biotechnological methods. 121 As is commonly known, propylene glycol as well as 1,3-propanediol and epichlorohydrin are important industrial monomers that up to now are petrochemical raw materials. Therefore, the described approaches can provide a straightforward contribution to a sustainable development.…”

The utilization of plant oil renewable resources as raw materials for monomers and polymers is discussed and reviewed. In an age of increasing oil prices, global warming and other environmental problems (e.g. waste) the change from fossil feedstock to renewable resources can considerably contribute to a sustainable development in the future. Especially plant derived fats and oils bear a large potential for the substitution of currently used petrochemicals, since monomers, fine chemicals and polymers can be derived from these resources in a straightforward fashion. The synthesis of monomers as well as polymers from plant fats and oils has already found some industrial application and recent developments in this field offer promising new opportunities, as is shown within this contribution.

“…[108][109][110][111][112][113][114] Furthermore, some thermophilic strains have been developed to convert hot effluents from the fat industry. 115 Besides glycerol, other polyols, like starch or glucose, can be used in the production of 1,3-propanediol by fermentation with the bacteria mentioned above. One example of a technology switch from petrochemicals to renewable sources is the fibre SORONA made by DuPont.…”

Although glycerol has been a well-known renewable chemical for centuries, its commercial relevance has increased considerably in the last few years because of its rising inevitable formation as a by-product of biodiesel production. The present review gives a broad overview on the chemistry of glycerol starting from the classic esters and oligomers to new products like glycerol carbonate, telomers, branched alkyl ethers, propanediols and epoxides. In particular, the novel possibilities to control the numerous addition, reduction and oxidation reactions via heterogeneous, homogeneous and biocatalysis will be presented. A benchmark will be given to determine the products which will have the best chances of entering the market and which processes are currently most developed.

“…Now, the lower cost of glycerol could open many significant new markets in polymers, ethers, and other fine compounds. [2][3][4][5] One of the most important materials for the chemical industry is glycerol carbonate (GC). 6 As a plurifunctional inexpensive compound, GC has considerable potential for different transformations in fine chemistry.…”
