7 BRASKEM - IDEOM: Sustainable Developments Solution ECOEFICIENCE GREEN PE NEW SUSTAINABLE PLATFORM Ser a líder mundial da química sustentável, inovando para melhor servir às pessoas.

8 Agenda BRASKEM BIOREFINERIES: ACTORS, CONCEPTS AND SYNERGIES COMPETING TECHNOLOGIES FACTORS CONCLUSIONS

9 Renewables Chemicals: symbiosis with Biofuels Biorefineries are the main driver for renewable chemical products Biofues: US$ 50 billions (2012) Today: bioethanol e biodiesel Brazil has competitive position in this area (sugar cane) High and diversify investments around the world

10 ... and others... Diversified actors Large Companies Small Business VC Funds CHEMISTRY AGROCOMPANIES ENERGY Universities and R&D Centers OTHERS PS: Usually, with participation of large companies and funds

11 Biorefinery Concept A processing and conversion facility that (1) efficiently separates its biomass raw material into individual components and (2) converts these components into marketplace products, including biofuels, biopower, and conventional and new bioproducts. The Biomass Research and Development, Technical Advisory Committee (2002), U.S. Departments of Energy and Agriculture very open, not clear enough... Diferent visions (regions / available feedstocks)... Diferent approaches (Biochemical / Thermochemical / Hybrid)...

12 Biorefinery: Technology Production Chain Complexity BIOMASS PRE TREATMENT CONVERSION PRODUCTS GENETICS GENETICS ALCOHOLS ENZIMATIC HID.

13 Biorefinery: Different actors / Different visions Complexity (so many actors)... Only 3 products? What kind of products?

14 Agenda BRASKEM BIOREFINERIES: ACTORS, CONCEPTS AND SYNERGIES COMPETING TECHNOLOGIES FACTORS CONCLUSIONS

15 Competing technologies technologies: termochemical/chemical, biochemical

16 Timeline / distribution

17 Raw materials approaches raw materials: switch gras, miscantus, corn, wood, sorghum, sugar cane, algies, waste (hemi cellulose), etc.. raw material could define the technolgy to be used

18 CHEMICAL TERMO / CATALYTIC BIOMASS TREATMENT BIOCHEMICAL GENETIC / ENZIM./FERMENTATION Both competences will be necessary in the future BIOCHEMICAL GENETIC / ENZIM./FERMENTATION BIOPRODUCT PRODUCTION CHEMICAL TERMO / CATALYTIC ETHANOL SUCCINIC ACID ISOPRENE GLICOSE, FRUTOSE, HMF ETHYLENE ETHANOL ACRYLIC ACID ACIDO ACETICO BIO-OIL PROPANODIOL BIO-OIL PLA SUGAR, HMF, FDCA, PEF SYNTHESIS GAS ETHANOL EPYCHLORIDRIN ETHANOL BIO-OIL

20 Economic Aspects Different approahes, different numbers... Do not consider chemical products...

21 Existent assets and competences influence Oil chain FUEL (LIQ. & LPG) NATURAL GAS ENERGY OIL REFINERY NAFTA PETROCHEMICAL CENTRAL PRODUCTS RENEWABLES Renewables chain PROCESSOR (SUGAR CANE / PAPER) CELULOSE / RESÍDUOS SUGAR ALCHOOL? CENTRAL PRODUCTS ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES ALREADY EXISTENTS TECHNOLOGIES TO BE DEVELOPED

22 Culture, logistic and scale Low SSMA concerns in BRAZIL could limit the choices in new products; Different biomass, different choices (productivity X land availability; different composition; possible synergies) Logistics of transporting raw materials already sets the current scale of the units of alcohol production in Brazil (max 8 MM tons of sugarcane per year). Production scale and location of available land will also have impact on the choice of new products;

23 Agenda BRASKEM BIOREFINERIES: ACTORS, CONCEPTS AND SYNERGIES COMPETING TECHNOLOGIES FACTORS CONCLUSIONS

24 Conclusions Both competences(thermochemical / chemical and biochemical) will be necessary in the future; It s not possible yet to define the winners; Economic aspects will define the winning technologies, but some aspects should also be considered in this choice: feedstock availabillity, culture, logistic / production scale, existent assets and competences; Biochemical offers more upside, but thermochemical is closer to commercialization;
