​​Maleic Anhydride​ (2026 Program)

This report provides an overview of commercial and developing technologies for maleic anhydride production. Maleic anhydride applications include unsaturated polyester resins, 1,4-butanediol, specialty acids, lubricating oil additives, copolymers, and fine chemicals. Process economics and carbon intensity analysis across different regions and processes (fixed bed, fluid bed, solvent recovery, n-butane recycles) for maleic anhydride production are also included.
