1 Slide 1 Green chemicals and fuels from the forest Welcome to this presentation by KIRAM LU Biofuels workshop Lund August 2011

2 Slide 2 Renewable materials and fuels Five strong market drivers Climate change Security of supply Domestic raw materials Taxation incentives Fossil fuels cost

3 Slide 3 KIRAMs bussines history Founder of Chemrec AB in 1988 All shares sold to KAMYR in 1990 Business dev. in Chemrec to about 2000 Royalty arrangement to about patent and patent applications NovaFiber project 1997 Prehydrolysis AQ Hemicelluloses recovery/valorisation New pulping processes NovaCell sulfur free pulping Conversion of KappaSturovo mill to NovaCell in 2003 CO2 talloil acidulation project Commercial plant at Enocell Sold to AGA/Linde in 2010 BioLime lignin limekiln fuel project Sold to third party in 2010 SunPine AB founded in 2005 Co-owned by KIRAM, Södra,Preem and Sveaskog NordLight AB founded in 2009 Co owns MeVa Innovation with Pite Energi and MeVa Powerplants Commercial CHP biomass gasification plant under erection in Piteå KIRAMs Cellulose dissolving project Establishing CelluNova project in 2008 Operated by SP Excellence Center EcoBuild Establishment of CellRay AB Filing of patent applications Trademark protection

4 Slide 4 A history of R&D and commercialisation of new technologies for the pulp and paper industry New pulp mill process equipment at KAMYR AB Founder of Chemrec AB

5 Slide 5 From crude talloil to green diesel KIRAM is founder and shareholder of SunPine AB

6 Slide 6 SunPine Renewable diesel from crude tall oil Raw materials Crude tall oil Acid vegetable oils Methanol Products Talldiesel ~65% Bio-oil ~35% Capacity Up to m3 talldiesel per year

7 Slide 7 SunPine plant in Piteå harbour Start up in Q KIRAM

17 Slide 17 Next steps Increase capacity Fine tuning Valorize Byproducts Sale/upgrade of rosin rich pitch % Rosin Recovery of anthraquinone Recovery of phytosterols

18 Slide 18 CelluNova project From forest to textiles and apparels

19 Slide 19 Cellulose is truly a green material Regenerated cellulosic fibres is made from forest raw material Attractive price/cost Very large raw material base Excellent LCA Low water use No fertiliser No pesticides/insecticides Flexible fibres of widely different qualities can be made High tenacity / High Wet modulus Soft, smooth or stiff fibers Can be blended with other fibers/polymers

20 Slide 20 New business opportunity for the forest industry Forest industry in search for new markets for cellulose products Scandinavian pulp mills have modern, energy efficient machinery Over 10 million ton cellulosic pulp is produced in Scandinavia every year Very low carbon footprint operations Operating in harmony with environment, no or very low emissons All infrastructure is in place for manufacturing of dissolving pulp / staple fiber Environmentally superior sulfur free pulping processes under commercialisation ( NovaCell) Sulfur free by products sa lignin Hydrolysates Furfural Organic acids

21 Slide 21 CelluNova project Partners Project initiative by KIRAM AB in 2008 Research, development and demonstration project ( ) Managed within EcoBuild - a Vinnova Excellence Center Project Manager Dr. Mats Westin Industrial / Institutional Partners University/Institutional partners EcoBuild SP Trätek SwereaIVF IKEA H&M Södra Skogsägarna Svenskt Konstsilke SKS Lunds University Physical Chemistry Theoretical Chemistry Chem.Eng LTH Karlstad University Cellulose Technology University of Coimbra Chalmers Innventia IBWCh KIRAM KIRAM

22 Slide 22 Basic elements of Fiber (wet) spinning Polymer is precipitated from the solution and a gel filament containing solvent is formed. A surface layer is formed, which will continue to coagulate towards the inside. The solvent diffuses from the inside of the filament to the surface into the spin bath. Processing variables: concentration and temperature of the spinning solution, composition, concentration and temperature of the spin bath, stretch applied during spinning.

23 Slide 23 Sulfur chemicals free alkaline pulp mill biorefinery NovaCell alkaline dissolving pulp mill Spinning plant Wood Pretreatment Cooking Post treatment Dissolving Spinning Staple fiber Solvent recycle Chemicals recovery Power, Biofuels, Sulfur free lignin Hemicelluose

24 Slide 24 CelluNova fiber Challenges and opportunities Low wet strength < 10 cn/tex Improvement scope Spinndope blending Coagulation bath design/chemistry Stretching Higher cellulose content/higher Dp Yarn blending twinning Low cost potential Easy process integration Nontoxic solvents Nonexplosive solvents Blending with other fibers Excellent LCA

25 Slide 25 CelluNova Further R&D activities In depth cellulose structural analysis X-ray ( synchrotron light at MaxLab) Neutron fiber diffraction CP/MAS 13 C NMR FT-IR Spectroscopy Microscopy Cellulose biorefinery R&D Kraft, sulfite, soda AQ pilot plant pulping studies Lignin recovery & valorisation Hemicelluloses extraction CelluNova project collaborations EPNOE European Polysaccharide Network of Excellence STEP ITN Shaping and transformation in the engineering of polysaccharides FP7 Marie Curie ITN Future fashion project Mistra call
