1 Creating Wealth from Waste: High Value Materials and Chemicals from Biowaste using Sustainable Technologies Magdalena Titirici Queen Mary University of London
2 Benefits of the Chemical Industry
3 Chemical industry across the life cycle Yet, we all hate chemicals!!!
4 Move towards a circular economy
5 We are running out of key elements
6 Location of scarce elements
7 So much ends up in waste
8 What do we do with our waste? What a waste!!
9 Food and agricultural waste is everywhere too 90 Mt of food waste generated every year in the EU (incl. industrial and household waste) or 179kg per capita in the UK, over 90% of the 5.7 Mt of commercial and industrial FW is discarded to landfill
10 Waste is tomorrows resource We need to encourage the greater use of chemically rich waste as a resource
11 What s in biowaste? Sugars Phenols Pectin Chitosan Chitin Starch Proteins Hemicellulose Cellulose Lignin Waxes Tannin Natural Dyes Alginic Acid Lipids
12 FOOD WASTE IS EVERYWHERE Agro-residues 46 Mt/y Spent coffee grounds 3 Mt/y 1 Mt/y of food waste Unripe coconut husks 5 Mt/y Orange peels 12 Mt/y 30 Mt/y of Agro-residues 382 t/y coffee husks Cassava starch 228 Mt/y Palm oil waste 15.8 Mt/y
13 Petroleum Refinery Fuels Solvent Bulk chemicals Plastics Petroleum feedstock Fibres Fine chemicals Oils
14 Biorefinery Fuels Solvent Plastics Biowaste Bulk chemicals Fine chemicals Fibres Oils
15 Getting off fossil fuels

To make energy crops with a big hole country. ntry-sized because all renewables rizes most of the powers-per-unit-. renewables alone would be very y solution will necessarily be large lan that adds up using renewables ting off fossil fuels, Brits are going s to something. Indeed to several Switch to Renewable Energy Power per unit l and or wat er ar ea Wind 2W/ m 2 Offshore wind 3W/ m 2 Tidal pools 3W/ m 2 Tidal stream 6W/ m 2 Solar PV panels 5 20 W/ m 2 Plants 0.5 W/ m 2 Rain-water (highlands) 0.24 W/ m 2 Hydroelectric facility 11 W/ m 2 Geothermal W/ m 2 Nuclear? Diffuse H 2? Table Renewable facilities have can t get production from Fossil renewtion, what are the other options? fuels with carbon capture and storage? to be country-sized because all Discontinuous Energy Storage renewables are so diffuse.
17 Materials in Historical Perspective 300 years ago humans used natural materials: stone, wood, bone, and natural fibbers Slowly our dependence changed and nonrenewable displaced renewables By the end of 20 century we became 100% addicted to non-renewables The resources from which materials are made exist only in a few countries 17
18 Conflict: Energy vs Materials World Energy Consumption: 500 EJ/year Materials & Chemicals Energy Making materials & chemicals consumes about 35% of the global energy Materials & chemicals today are derived from fossil fuels Energy today is from fossil fuels To build renewable energy we need materials & chemicals
