2 Borregaard is the world s most advanced biorefinery Integrated production system serving diverse markets WOOD 1000 kg Residues from wood 400 kg 400 kg 50 kg 3 kg Specialty cellulose Lignin Vanillin Bioetanol Construction materials Concrete additive Food Car care Cosmetics Animal feed Perfumes Paint/varnish Food Dyestuff Pharmaceuticals Pharmaceutical industry Tablets Batteries Bio fuel Textiles Briquetting Filters Mining Paint/varnish Soil conditioning

3 Market leader in global niche markets Product Portfolio Sales distribution Specialty Cellulose Lignin Fine Chemicals / Pharma Ingredients Leading supplier within global niches Strong positions in Europe and globally awithin selected applications #1 and only global supplier of lignin-based products Unique technical and application expertise Leading supplier of x-ray contrast media intermediates Supplier of intermediates /APIs to major pharmaceutical companies Leading supplier of vanilla flavour Other Bio Ethanol Basic Chemicals

4 Lignin based plastics Kraft lignin (and others) has been used. Forms plastics with acceptable mechanical properties which can be extruded and injection molded. Smell and colour limiting potential markets LignoPol, Borregaard Potentially large volume market Hydrolysis lignin less suited Need further development Arboform, Technaro

5 Borregaard ChemCell Focus on high end applications Specialty cellulose 4.85 mill t Specialty 1.65 mill t Viscose staple 3.2 mill t True specialities - High barriers to entry - Tailor made specifications - Ethers, Acetate, NC - Fewer players Semi specialities - More standardised products for textile industry - More cyclical - Several (new) players Total world production of pulp: 185 mill tonnes (of which 40 mill t market pulp) Est figures

12 Value and price Optimal use of biomass - differentiation High OK Food Feed High Materials Quality and price Bio-chemicals Paper Bio-fuel - Bio-ethanol - Bio-diesel - Bio-gas Low OK Bio-energy -Heat & power - Bio-oil - Pellets Low

13 BALI project in a nutshell A main goal in the BALI project is efficient production of sellable lignosulfonate from new feedstocks enzymatic hydrolysis of pretreated biomass Biomass bagasse wood straw EFB palm tree chips. Cellulose with low lignin content Water soluble lignin Sugar in solution

14 WPC Wood Plastic Composites tpy market in Europe

15 Bioplastics biopolyethylene. (Braschem/Dow&Crystalsev). From bioethanol (sugar cane, Brazil) Could easily be changed to lignocellulosic sugar (Norwegian spruce?) PlantBottle (Coca Cola) - PET 23% plantbased in polymer (27% of monomers) Diol in PET from bioethanol Could easily be changed to lignocellulosic sugar(norwegian spruce?) Next generation biopet race between PepsiCo and CocaCola Terephtalic acid also green Gevo, Virent (green terephtalic acid PTA) from sugar Avantium (green 2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid) from sugar Courtesy of (Prof. Ali Harlin, VTT)

16 PLA Poly Lactic Acid Natureworks, and others Developments Properties to be improved when D- and L- homopolymers of PLA are blended
