(Chem.) Kirsi Partanen M.Sc. (Chem.) Sari Kilpimaa M.Sc. B. Wikman (coordinator) M.Sc. Riikka Lahti Senior researchers: Ass. Prof. Jean Marc Leveque D.Sc.

16 New, innovative and sustainable transportation fuels (SusFuFlex)

17 Introduction SusFuFlex project focuses on the production of higher bioalcohols and other compounds suitable as oxygenates (e.g. butanol, pentanol, mixed alcohols). The main aims are: 1) To study old and novel procedures for microbiological production of biobutanol, higher alcohols and oxygenates as fossil fuel substitutes 2) To develop and optimize catalytic materials and chemical (catalytic) reaction pathways in the production of bioalcohols and other bio-derived compounds 3) To conduct a sustainability analysis of the processes to be developed, to analyze the atom economy of the new processes and to make a preliminary economical analysis, and 4) To integrate the processes and know-how developed by the research groups.

18 Why higher alcohols as transportation fuels? Table 1. Fuel properties of gasoline, diesel and C1 C5 alcohols. Fuel Energy Air-to- RON* MON** Water density fuel solubility (MJ/l) ratio (%) Gasoline negligible Diesel 35.5 (60 to Negligible on idle) 14.7 n-pentanol Low Low 0% n-butanol % Ethanol % Methanol % *) RON = research octane number, **) MON = motor octane number Butanol, pentanol and mixed alcohols are also less corrosive than ethanol They can be used for replacing fossil fuels in existing combustion engines Higher alcohols can be distributed via the existing pipelines (low vapour pressure) They can be produced in an industrial scale

19 Microbial approach in biobutanol production Pre-treatment of biomass Raw materials -lignocellulosic (pulp mill sludges) and starch-based biomass as a carbon source or -a low-value by-product from food industry, e.g. cheese whey, a by-product from lactose purification, potato peels Fermentation of sugars to alcohols Solvent recovery, recycling of IL

20 Summary of results The pre treatment of lignocellulosics biomass to fermentable sugars is a challenging task Based on the results, fiber sludge (as a carbon source) will be potential for fermentation process high sugar concentration enough low amount of impurities IL residues low Other sludges might also be potential for biofuel production

21 CATALYTIC CONVERSION OF BIOMASS INTO TRANSPORTATION FUELS AIM OF THE RESEARCH Development of novel, chemical (catalytic) reaction pathways for the production of butanol and higher bioalcohols. M.Sc. (Chem.) Audrey Hernoux MAIN FIELDS OF THE RESEARCH Evaluation of former and novel procedures for chemical production of butanol Chemical degradation of biomass to obtain intermediate product(s) Development and optimization of catalytic reactions for the production of butanoland higher alcohols Catalyst synthesis and characterization Alcohol(s) synthesis over heterogeneous catalyzed reactions Sustainability analysis and evaluation of atom economy of the new processes The research will be carried out as a Joint Project with prof. Jean Marc Leveque, Université de Savoié, France. It is funded by Fortum foundation,
