Hello, blucken!
I see no one has attempted to answer this question and I can
understand why! There is virtually no information available online. I
was able to find a few references but most simply provide a cursory
mention of 3-Hydroxypropionic acid. Please let me know if any of these
help at all.

The only pricing I could find was in the following report:
"Design and Feasibility of Using Acid to Dissolve Carbonate Rock
Formations for Creating Storage Caverns." David A. Bruce, James W.
Castle, Scott E. Brame, Ronald W. Falta, Lawrence C. Murdoch (Clemson
University); Donald A. Brooks, (DB Consulting)

Scroll down to chart of "Listed Acid Prices: Dec. 2003."

page 9:
"When fully commercialized, the industrial biotech process will
convert dextrose derived from corn to a chemical intermediate known as
3, hydroxypropionic acid (3HP), one of the top chemical intermediates
identified by the Biomass Program. The chemicals that can be produced
from 3HP include acrylic acid, acrylamide, and 1,3 propanediol.
Acrylic acid and its derivatives are used to create a wide range of
polymer-based consumer and industrial products such as adhesives,
paints, polishes, protective coatings, and sealants. The new process
will use agricultural feedstocks instead of petroleum to produce 3HP."

I don't know if the following report contains anything of value:

I will look foward to your thinking on this one!
