From fossil- to bio-based refineries Case Study Biorefinery Leuna Uwe Welteroth Director Biotechnology Plants Linde-KCA-Dresden GmbH
IEA-Bioenergy Task 42 Biorefinery German Workshop Worms, September 15th, 2009 Agenda From fossil- to bio-based refineries Key drivers Status and development trends From TODAY'S bio-based production to FUTURE integrated Biorefineries Vision "Biorefinery Leuna" "Bioethylene" as an example for the integration into the value chain Why Bioethylene? Future integrative scenario Conclusion & Outlook Linde-KCA-Dresden GmbH 2 August 2009/Uwe Welteroth
From fossil- to bio-based refineries Key drivers Feedstock change trend to renewable raw materials securing supply (shortage of fossil feedstocks) rising costs of fossil feedstocks autonomy of supply Sustainability neutral/positive C02-balance energy, water, resources, environmental burdon Political will to establish a bio-based economy in Europe to keep Europe in a leading position in White Biotech to support European agriculture Triple P principle Economics new/innovative products cheaper production processes Linde-KCA-Dresden GmbH 3 August 2009/Uwe Welteroth
