Borregaard's orchestrating biorefinery concepts

Transcription

1 Borregaard's orchestrating biorefinery concepts process chemistry and biotechnology in a symphonic interaction The World s most advanced biorefinery! Gudbrand Rødsrud Technology Director Business Development Borregaard AS

2 Biorefinery - Business model Borregaard s biochemicals are sustainable and environmentally friendly substitutes to petrochemicals Borregaard is the global leader in bio based chemicals. Strong innovation efforts increase the value added to our customers.

3 Wood based chemicals in an integrated concept Cellulose Lignin Vanillin Ethanol Construction materials Concrete additives Food Car care Cosmetics Animal feed Perfumes Paint/ varnish Food Dyestuff Pharmaceuticals Pharmaceutical industry Tablets Batteries Bio Fuel Textiles Briquetting Filters Mining Paint / varnish

4 Market leader in global niche markets Market position Specialty Cellulose Lignin Fine Chemicals / Pharma Ingredients Bioethanol Leading supplier within global niches #1 and only global supplier of lignin-based products > 50% market share Leading supplier of x-ray contrast media intermediates Leading supplier of vanilla flavour Only supplier of wood based vanillin World s largest supplier of lignocellulosic bio-ethanol Still insignificant volumes (20 mill litres/y) Rather topping the hit lists of experimental jazz than.. beeing one of hundreds of dance bands

8 The BALI process for coproduction of sugars and lignin specialty chemicals Process for conversion of biomass to sugars in solution and soluble lignosulfonates Works on almost any biomass High purity sugars ready for fermentation to ethanol or chemicals Low level of inhibitors (both for enzymes and yeasts) 2 patents filed Mechanical biomass handling Chemical pretreatment lignin Chemical lignin processing cellulose Enzymatic hydrolysis sugar Fermentation Ethanol, Chemicals Yeast Chemical processing

9 Borregaard BALI Demo Plant: Location: Borregaard: Sarpsborg, Norway Feed: 1 metric ton dry matter/day Construction started May 2011 Official opening September m 2 total area Budget cost: NOK 130 mill NOK 58 mill in support from Innovation Norway Currently exploring partnership opportunities for full scale production plant Basis for New Norwegian Biorefinery project
