Succinic acid is also known as butanedioic acid, 1,2-ethanedicarboxylic acid, and amber acid. Succinic acid is conventionally manufactured by the catalytic hydrogenation of maleic anhydride. It can also be manufactured using either petroleum feedstock or bio-based feedstock. The diminishing supplies of oil and gas have forced manufacturers to look for alternative sources of manufacturing succinic acid. The biobased method is the way toward manufacturing using sustainable and renewable resources. The ease of production of succinic acid through the bio-based route is one of the key factors driving its acceptance across the industry.
