6 Background Role biorefineries Biomass is expected to play a major role in greening the Dutch economy Biomass-derived products will be applied in a variety of market sectors Current production costs of biomass-derived products are generally too high to be market competitive without governmental support Domestic biomass contractability covers less than half of the future needs; the larger part of the biomass or biomass-based products has to be imported (relatively high costs) Development and deployment of high-efficiency Biorefineries unavoidable IEA Biorefinery Kick-off March 6

15 IP Ecobinders (EU project ) ECOBINDERS aims to develop new sustainable processes and products using furan and/or lignin based binders for high added-value, environmentally friendly products and services in SME intensive industries. These binders will be used in conjunction with natural fibres and are inherently non-toxic, environmentally friendly, emission-free and water-resistant. Furthermore, a reduction of CO2 emission will be established. Further information is available at IEA Biorefinery Kick-off March 15

16 Jatropha curcas utilization (Dutch/Indonesia KNAW project ) The proposed program aims to research the potential exploitation and valorisation of the full tree by application of the bio-refinery concept. Including: Economic and socio-economic analysis, and, definition of the optimum cultivation and production configurations, Optimisation of the oil extraction process and process/product development to obtain consistent and high quality fuel oils, Research and development of new technology to derive a new type of bio-diesel without the need to convert the PPO into bio-diesel (i.e. without conversion to ethanol or methanol esters), Chemical modification of PPO into new bulk and specialty chemicals, Exploration of the plant constituents to develop new pharmaceutical products, Oil extraction and detoxification by the use of a fungus, Microbial treatment of the seed residue (primarily proteins) for energy and feed production, Non-food valorisation of bio-refinery waste streams.

17 Ghent Bio-energy Valley Ghent Bio-energy Valley is a Public Private Partnership aiming to support the development of sustainable bioenergy activities and resulting economic growth in the region of Ghent, Belgium. Ghent Bio-energy Valley aims to promote the development of bio-energy through collaborative programs, initiatives and synergy between the partners in the fields of Research & Development, structural measures and policy, logistics and communication towards the general public.

18 Platform Biobased Raw Materials This platform is one of the five transition themes in the Energy Transition process initiated by the Netherlands Ministry of Economic Affairs in order to attain a sustainable energy supply. By 2030, the Platform foresees to replace 30% of fossil fuels used in the Netherlands with biobased raw materials (biomass). To realize this vision, the Platform has selected a number of transition paths routes that will be actively promoted. Further information is available at IEA Biorefinery Kick-off March 18

19 N-ergy (Dutch project ) Microbiological co-production of nitrogen containingchemicals and ethanol from biomass. This project aims to develop fermentationprocesses in which a yeast - or mould strain is developed which is able to accumulate in diluted or concentrated juices from biorefinery processes of for example grass, potatoes or beets to simultaneous produce an insoluble form of biopolymer (such as (poly)aminoacid, cyanophycine or CGP) and ethanol. IEA Biorefinery Kick-off March 19

20 Lignovalue (Dutch project ) The project's objective is to develop integral technology for a lignocellulose biorefinery that enables optimal valorisation of all biomass fractions. The project comprises development of new pre-treatment and fractionation technology, catalytic pyrolysis and depolymerisation of lignin followed by upgrading via catalytic hydrodeoxygenation.

21 Co-production of Bio-ethanol and lactic acid, power and heat from lignocellulosic streams. (Dutch project ) The objective was to develop technologies for the use of lignocellulose as a raw material for bioethanol and lactic acid production.

22 Hyvolution (EU Project ) The aim of Hyvolution is to develop installations for conversion of biomass from primary production or agroindustrial plants, to pure hydrogen. The target is to cover with small scale installations 10-25% of the foreseen EU demand for hydrogen. For further information visit IEA Biorefinery Kick-off March 22

23 Biobutanol (Dutch project ) The ultimate goal of this project is to design a new, efficient and economically viable bioprocess for the conversion of low-cost cellulosic feedstocks into butanol. Further information is available on IEA Biorefinery Kick-off March 23
