Green business? The value chain should tell the story Raw Material Processes Products Natural Renewable Non toxic Reduced emissions Energy conservation/renewable energy High raw material utilisation Risk management High performance Substitutes oil based products
Significant environmental investments: NOK 2 billion during the last 20 years G W h 1200 1000 800 From 2010: Borregaard Sarpsborg s thermal energy baseload is covered by renewable sources and waste - s t e a m 600 400 200 0 2001 2004 2007 2010 2013 The boiler house serves as a backup and covers remaining need for thermal energy New top load plant will replace our remaining oil use from 2013 Bio/recycling/waste Oil Reduced energy costs and greener products
Life Cycle Analysis From Cradle to Gate Borregaard products Compared to Scale Cellulose Cellulose from cotton + Bioethanol Ethanol from ethylene Bio ethanol from sugar cane Lignin Superplasticizer + BioVanillin Vanillin from guaiacol + + + Comparative oil based products gives substantially higher emissions of greenhouse gasses
Organisation for Innovation Innovation involving the whole organisation Top management focus Innovation Management Teams New cellulose based materials More than 25% of Borregaard s revenues from new products R&D Centre with 60 employees, 25 PhD s R&D spending close to NOK 100 million/year Environmentally friendly products to the agro sector Patent application for new process for 2G bioethanol Development of new processes within EHS Utilisation of new biobased raw materials
Existing routes: Wood to bioplastics
Bio-Thermoplastics from Hydrolysis Lignins Background 1996 2000 Lignopol was Borregaard project. Stopped, no success. Thermoplastic based on Kraft lignin. Forms plastics with acceptable mechanical properties which can be extruded and injection molded. Test production of injection molded steering wheels for major car producer and many more possible parts. Smell and colour limiting potential markets, became the end of the project LignoPol, Borregaard
Recipe 100% biomass based To be processed in existing equipment for plastics
