1 Mobile and Flexible Processing of Biomass EU project MOBILE FLIP Tarja Tamminen Matthieu Campargue Denilson da Silva Perez Capucine Dupont Finn Englund Priit Kotli Sylvia Larsson Electra Papadopoulou Kimmo Rasa Taisto Raussi Philippe Sajet Mikael Wallin Open MOBILE FLIP seminar at SLU, Umeå, Sweden, June 16, 2016

2 Mobile Flip consortium RTOs SMEs Mobile Flip in figures Budget 9.70 million euros 716 Person months 4 years ( ) Large companies 2

3 Background Novel solutions need to be developed for sustainable process industries utilizing renewable resources in a sustainable manner. Forestry, agricultural and industrial wastes are potential future resources, but they are typically fragmented and only seasonally available. Mobile Flip brings together the industry, SMEs and RTOs, to generate new and emerging solutions for the environmental, social, and economic challenges, more specifically the growing demand for sustainable and innovative use of biomass raw materials. 3

4 Main objectives Develop technologies for simple and robust processes that are applicable to small scale. The specific aims of the project are to demonstrate at least three of the following technologies as a mobile unit biomass pre-treatment steps (comminution, drying, fractioning) hydrothermal treatment and saccharification hydrothermal carbonization torrefaction slow pyrolysis feasible compaction technologies for solid products (pelletizing and briquetting) 4

5 Approach Sustainability, feasibility and social aspects WP 4 - Sustainability evaluation (leader VTT) WP 1 - Business feasibility evaluation (leader SP) Technical performance WP 2 - Experimental evaluation of process flexibility and product quality (leader CEA) Task 1. Raw material procurement and characterisation (leader FCBA) Task 2. Process lines based on pelletization (leader SLU) Task 3. Process lines based on hydrothermal treatment and saccharification (leader VTT) Task 4. Process lines based on torrefaction, including evaluation of products (leader CEA) Task 5. Process lines based on slow pyrolysis (leader VTT) WP 5 - Dissemination and exploitation (leader FCBA) WP 3 - Mobile plant design and demonstration (leader BioGold) WP6 - Management (leader VTT) 5
