1 HAMK R&D in Biorefinery Processes HAMK University of Applied Sciences, Bioeconomy Research Unit Dr. Tech. Maritta Kymäläinen 9th September 2015 Hämeenlinna, Finland

2 HAMK Research Units and Bioeconomy Research Groups Bioeconomy Professional Excellence Sheet Metal Centre Smart Services The research groups of the Bioeconomy Research Unit: Biorefining processes Built environment Cleantech Bioprocesses for foodstuffs Bright Green Natural resources

3 Applied Research on Biorefinery Concepts at HAMK Process research and development work since 2001 in close co-operation with industry and research partners: Waste Utilization - Biogas production - Bioethanol production Material recycling - Nutrient recycling Separation and upgrading - New valuable products Added value from wastes and by-products BIOFUELS BIOENERGY RESOURCE EFFICIENCY Biotechnology has a key role in biorefining

4 Applied Research on Biorefinery Concepts at HAMK Examples of R&D projects Anaerobic Digestion of Biological Wastes 1 and 2 -projects (Tekes, ) A Comprehensive Approach to Utilize Biowaste -project (Tekes Streams-program, ) Laihia Biogas Plant (started in 2005, owned by Laihia Municipality) Industrial partners: - Machinery companies, Waste management company, Food industry Research partners: - Tampere University of Technology and University of Helsinki Pilot bioreactor Public funding R&D project Immaterial capacity building: process understanding; process design parameters Business driven project

5 Applied Research on Biorefinery Concepts at HAMK Examples of R&D projects Integrated Bioethanol and Biogas Plant in Häme project ( ) BIOREFINERY, tons EtOH/year Partners: - Local sugar beet growers, The Central Union for Agricultural Producers and Forest Owners (MTK), Engineering company Suomen Biojalostus Oy (Finnish Biorefining Inc.), a local start-up company Public funding R&D project Raw material availability, and experimental testing; Product market situation; Basic process planning; Location and logistics; Profitability; Legislation Investment Financing?
