Second generation bioethanol: challenges and perspectives Dr. Andre Koltermann, Group Vice President, Central R&D, Süd-Chemie AG Wien, October 15, 2009 Seite 1
For over 150 years Süd-Chemie observe sustainable growth by basic products and innovative solutions 1850 1900 1950 2000 Generation of cleantech/greentech products: Biomass conversion Exhaust gas/air catalysis Lithium ion batteries CTL/GTL Access to pharma packaging and water treatment Acquisition of american-based Girdler/Chemetron Corp. (Catalysts) Industrial catalysts New products: bleaching earth and bentonite products Formation of BAG (today: Süd-Chemie AG) in Heufeld; Artifical fertiliser, Founding shareholder: Justus von Liebig Fertilizer Bleaching Earth/Bentonite Seite 2
Our challenges for a growing world Growing & aging world population Growing energy demand Climate/environment protection Globalization & developing markets The UNO assumes a yearly population growth of 78 Mio. people around 6.75 billion people are living on our earth Fossil resources are limited, e.g. crude oil should suffice for about 44 years The global ground level temperature increases during the last 100 years by about 0.7 C The statistically detectable global commodity trading increases about 27 times between 1948 und 2004 Seite 3
And our implementations Growing & aging world population Growing energy demand climate/-environment protection Globalization & developing markets - Health care - Nutrition - Drinking water - Quality of life - Growing energy demand - Limited fossil resources especially crude oil, natural gas - CO 2 -Emissions - Exhaust gas contamination - wastewater - Environmental legislation - More individual mobility - Increasing international freight transport volume - Growing prosperity Technologies for cleaning of edible oil, palm oil Protective and pharma packaging Wastewater treatment and drinking water preparation Bioethanol, Biorefineries, BTL, BTC (Biomass-to-liquid, -to-chemicals), CTL, CTC (Coal-to-liquid, -to-chemicals) GTL (Gas-to-liquid) Catalysis for energy efficient processes Exhaust air cleaning (e.g. N 2 O) Exhaust gas treatment (Dieselpartikelfilter, SCR, DOC) Technologies for low-emission processes (e.g. foundry) Best-in-class Cathode material for Li-Ion Batteries Technologies fuel cells "Creating Performance Technology" Seite 4
