1 Conversion of macroalgae to bioethanol and fish feed preliminary trials in the MAB3 project Anne-Belinda Bjerre, Senior Scientist PhD Danish Technological Institute 3rd Danish Macroalgae conference Grenå

2 Welcome to Danish Technological Institute

3 Division for Energy and Climate Center for Biomass & Biorefinery 4 locations in Denmark Several projects related to solid and liquid biofuels EU-projects / National projects / Industry Denmark Grenå Algae Center Denmark Aarhus Biomass Laboratory and Offices Taastrup Enzyme Laboratory and Offices Sdr. Stenderup Pilot plant and production facilities

4 Contents Background Processes on macroalgae Cultivation Harvest Conditioning Enzymatic hydrolysis Ethanol production Sustainability and economic feasibility

5 BACKGROUND the MAB3 project MacroAlgaeBiorefinery for 3G bioenergy and fish feed An integrated biorefinery concept to be developed for conversion of two species of macro algae Laminaria digitata and Saccharina latissima into energy carriers, together with a protein enriched fish feed derived as a residual from the energy conversion processes Financed: the Danish Strategic Research Council Total budget of 24 million DKK Project period: March 1 st, March 1 st, Partners from Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Italy Education of 4 PhD and 2 postdoc Coordinator: Danish Technological Institute v/ Anne-Belinda Bjerre

19 ECONOMIC POTENTIAL 100 kg wet algae biomass (Laminaria digitata) 2 kg Algae juice (dry matter) Conditioning 1 kg Value added products (Fucoidan, etc.) 7,4 kg Ethanol + 7,1 kg CO 2 1 kg Protein Pretreatment C6-Fermentation Separation of liquid and solid Input: construction and building materials, enzymes, energy and electricity, water MAB3 MacroalgaeBiorefinery Output CO2eq Other output Emission in air, water and soil Enzymatic prehydrolysis Bioethanol Proteins 2 kg Amino acids Residual sugars fermentation 3 kg fertilizer (inorganic salts and silicium) Residuals

20 ECONOMIC POTENTIAL MAB3 Price ( /kg) Weight Scenario Scenario Scenario Scenario (kg) 1 a 2 b 1 2 Wet algae Cost Value added products (e.g. Fucoidan) Ethanol Protein Income Amino acids Fertilizers Margin a Scenario 1: Price of macroalgae from Watson, L. and Dring, M., Business plan for the establishment of a seaweed hatchery & grow-out farm. Irish sea Fisheries Board, pp 41. B Scenario 2: Price of macroalgae from Michael Bo Rasmussen personal communication.

21 ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY ASSESSMENT MAB3 Input: cultivation system (lines, buoys, water, nutrients) GHG savings on the climate mitigation bank account Macroalgae cultivation and harvesting Output: CO2eq Other outputs: Emissions in air and water Algae Amounts (g/kg) Macroalgae carbon content Macroalgae nitrogen content 3-5 CO 2 assimilation Avoided N 2 O emission from N assimilation 4-8 Total CO 2 eq According to IPCC guidelines

22 Conclusions Macroalgae cultivation has high potential for CO 2 saving providing water quality protection by assimilating excess nutrients Raw material price is essential for the overall feasibility Knowledge about biomass composition is important for the choice of biorefinery processes Ethanol and protein are realistic products from Laminaria digitata, however the algal biomass must be harvested at the right time in August/September due to the need of high C6-sugar contents
