Abstract
With the rapidly increased production cost of fossil-(petroleum)-based chemicals, it has been suggested that the biological production of fumaric acid from renewable resources can replace current petrochemically based maleic anhydride/acid process. This chapter reviews the accumulated knowledge and recent research, as well as a critical analysis of future perspectives to develop economically competitive bio-based fumaric acid processes to replace the petrochemical route.
