1 Bioeconomy: Research and Innovation Shaping the New Biobased Economy RENEWABLE CHEMISTRY: THE CHALLENGES OF BIOMASS-BASED CHEMISTRY

2 AGENDA THE CHALENGES... THE PRODUCT PARADIGM... THE FUTURE... Página 2

3 THE CHALLENGES COST... PRODUCT? TECHNOLOGY / PRODUCT... RAW MATERIAL AVAILABILITY / LOGISTICS... SCALE... Página 3

4 PRODUCT APROACH Initial importance of sustainability (renewable raw material) and high yields today, other aspects have to be considered Página 4

5 THE PRODUCT HAS TO BE SUSTAINABLE SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY ENVIRONMENT ECONOMIC CONSUMERS DO NOT PAY MORE FOR SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTS... HIGH YIELDS* / PRODUCTIVITY / NUMBER OF PRODUCTION STEPS / ENERGY CONSUMPTION-CO2 EMISSION / WATER s CONSUMPTION BRAZIL AND THE SUGAR CANE BIOREFINERY... BUT WE HAVE OTHER BIOMASS / RESIDUES... AND THE CANE ENERGY? * LAND s USE / FOOD COMPETITION Página 5

6 THE PRODUCT PARADIGM DROP IN OR NO DROP IN HIGH YIELDS / PRODUCTIVITY FUNCIONALITY O2 NO DROP IN SPECIALTIES FINE CHEMICALS COMMODITIES? (it is important, if we really want a transition... It s means volume...) APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT / MARKET EFFORTS Página 6

7 COULD GREEN PE BECOME A COMMODITY? THEORETICAL YIELD SUGAR CANE SUGAR ETHANOL ETHYLENE PE 1 t 0,15 0,07 0,04 0,04 LOW YIELDS SCALE PROBLEMS (It needs more than a mill of sugar cane in order to have a commercial scale PE plant) BRASKEM s green PE is a success!!! But will never be a commodity!!! Página 7

In spite of that, some aspects of the process analyzed might be industrial secrets, not published in patents or outdated in literature. The design presented in this document is based on the institute synthesis of the researched process that being the case some differences may arise between this study and the industrial process actually employed. However, the process designed suitably represents the technology examined accurately enough to develop a conceptual economic evaluation. Biomass to waste PROVIDER PROCESS FLOW DIAGRAM PAGE From S-205 & S206A/B P-105 V-102A/B 21 To A It is important to understand that the institute had access to publicly available data, such as patents, articles and literature; as well as consulting specialists in the area. In spite of that, some aspects of the process analyzed might be industrial secrets, not published in patents or outdated in literature. The design presented in this document is based on the institute synthesis of the researched process that being the case some differences may arise between this study and the industrial process actually employed. However, the process designed suitably represents the technology examined accurately enough to develop a conceptual economic evaluation. IS THERE A WINNER HERE?
