In the process, fermentation of sugars produces itaconic acid, which undergoes catalytic hydrogenation to produce 3-methyltetrahydrofuran (MTHF). Although processes exist for the production of isoprene from biomass, these processes suffer from low overall yields or low conversion rates, preventing them from being economically feasible.
