3 Introduction The retention and the management of the resources are fundamental political areas of a sustainable development of the 21th century. A sustainable economical growth requires safe, sustainable resources for industrial production. It is absolutely necessary to look for solutions to decrease today s rapid consumption of fossil, not renewable resources (petroleum, natural gas, coal, minerals). 3

4 Bio Economy Product and Energy Market In consequence, it is absolutely necessary to develop solutions in three sustainable and biobased sectors: Biobased Products BioEnergy / BioPower BioFuels Biopower/Bioenergy (electricity and heat) Biofuels (transportation fuels) Biobased Products (chemicals/materials) in context of a biobased economy. Biogenic Raw Materials 3-pillar model of a future biobased economy A key of the development biobased industrial products and fuels are 4

5 Fuels and Energy Fuels and Energy - Bioethanol, - Biodiesel, Biogas -Hydrogen Petroleum Biomass Chemistry Refinery Material Utilisation, Chemistry -Basic and Fine chemicals, - Biopolymers and Bioplastics Biorefinery Biobased industrial products can only compete with petro-chemically based products if the raw materials are optimally exploited and a variety of value-creating chains are developed and established. development of substance-converting basic product systems and multi product systems, especially biorefineries. 5

6 Biorefinery A biorefinery is an overall concept of a processing plant where biomass Feedstock s are converted and extracted into a spectrum of valuable products. Based on the petrochemical refinery. U.S. Department of Energy (DEO), Energy, Environmental and Economics (E3) Handbook (2000) 6

7 combine necessary technologies between biological raw materials and the industrial intermediates and final products. Principles (1) Biorefinery Agriculture Primary Refinery Industry Raw Material Conversion of Raw Material Lignin Carbohydrates Product lines Product lines Special Substances: Pigments, Dyes, Aromatic Essences, Flavours, Enzymes, Hormones, and other Complex Substances Inorganic Substances. Energy Fats Proteins Special Substances Product lines Product lines Product lines After providing code-defined basic substances (via fractionation) it is necessary to develop industrially relevant Product Family Trees. Kamm, B.; Kamm, M.; Principles of. Appl. Microbiol, Biotechnol., (AMB), 64 (2004)

8 Principles (2) Precursors-contained Biomass Wood / Soft wood Cereals / Maize Sugar-beet /-cane Soya/Rape Alfalfa/ Grass/Clover Biomass- Precursors Lignin Carbohydrates Fats Proteins Straw Bagasse Leaf Lignin Energy Material- Precursors chemical Syngas Levulinic acid Methanol Cellulose Starch Glucose Ethanol Acetic acid Saccharose enzymatic bacterial Lactic acid Oil Enzymes Acrylic acid Dilactide Aminoacids Feed 2,3-Pentanedion Gasoline Ethene Ethyllactate Polymers Plant biomass always consist of the basic products: Carbohydrates, lignin, proteins, and fats Kamm, B.; Kamm, M.; Principles of. Appl. Microbiol, Biotechnol., (AMB), 64 (2004)

9 Principles (3) In the first step, the precursor containing biomass is separated mostly by physical methods. The M1-Mn- and B1-Bn-products will subsequently be subjected to microbiological and/ or chemical methods. In the following, the F1-Fn-products can be further converted or enter the conventional refinery. The goal principle of a biorefinery is defined in the following: (Biomass) Feedstock-Mix + Process-Mix Product Mix Kamm, B.; Kamm, M.; Principles of. Appl. Microbiol, Biotechnol., (AMB), 64 (2004)

10 Principles (4) Feedstock(s) biological raw material various, mixed Food and Feed Grains, Ligno-cellulosic Biomass, (e.g. late grass, reed, bush, harvest rest) Forest Biomass, (e.g. wood, underwood, waste wood-processing) Municipal Solid Waste (MSW), (e.g. paper/cardboard, town-cleaning, hospitals) Processing-Technologies various, combined Bioprocesses ( bacterial, enzymatic a.o.), Chemical Processes, Thermo-chemical Processes, Thermal Processes, Physical Processes, Products Substances and Energy various, multi product systems Fuels, Chemicals, Materials ( e.g. Polymers ) Specialities, Commodities, Goods Basic principles of a biorefinery [phase III or type III biorefinery] 10

11 Currently four Biorefinery Systems are forced within research, development and practice: The Whole Crop Biorefinery (WC-BR) raw material: cereals, maize etc.. The Green Biorefinery (G-BR) raw material: nature-wet biomasses, green grass, lucerne, clover, immature cereals a.o.. The Lignocellulose Feedstock Biorefinery (LCF-BR) raw material: nature-dry biomasses, wood, straw, corn stover, cellulose-containing biomasses and waste.

25 Summary present : Complex and integrated systems of sustainable technologies based on biological raw materials. Economically self-consisting enterprises and economic entities. Bearing pillars of the future biobased economics. Motors of research and development in the 21th century. One fundamental task in the biorefinery topic is the development of biorefinery demonstration plants, close to industry and agro-industry. 25

26 Outlook Several requirements to enter the phase of development of Industrial Biorefinery Technologies and Biobased Products: To increase the production of substances on the base of biogenic raw materials in the ordinary plants of production of cellulose, starch, protein, sugar and oil. To get the commitment of the chemistry, particularly the organic chemistry, for the concept of biobased products and biorefinery systems. To force the combination of biological and chemical conversion of substances. To introduce and establish biorefinery demonstration plants. 26
