Techno-economic evaluation of the production of polyesters from glycerol and adipic acid

- Polyesters are an added value product that can improve the economics of biodiesel.
- The polycondensation between glycerol and adipic acid is experimentally evaluated.
- We use a hybrid approach using experimental data and simulation tools.
- We present the design and scale up of the process.
- The techno-economical evaluation yields promising results.
