Bioraffinering hvad er det? Chemicals from Biomass for future materials and energy Anne-Belinda Bjerre, senior scientist, ph.d.
State of the art In 2050, world population will be about 9-11 billion people with same requireries for - food - energy -and materials Today, almost all energy and materials depend on depleting oil and natural gas ressources
State of the art 10% of the oil we extract is used to make organic chemicals and related materials. A remarkable additional 10% is used for energy to drive the chemical reactions. Clark & Deswarte 2008
Sustainability - one definition Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs Brundtland commission, 1987
A step forward to fulfill this goal is.. to replace fossil fuel with renewable fuels and energy to replace fossil chemicals with biomass based chemicals and materials The biorefinery
History of bio-ethanol (fuel ethanol) production in USA, the driver in biorefinery development Ethanol Production in US 12000 10000 8000 6000 4000 2000 All 1G ethanol Millon of Gallons per Year 0 1980 1982 1984 1986 1988 1990 1992 1994 1996 1998 2000 2002 2004 2006 2008 2010
Why plant biomass? Plants are stored solar energy and (almost) CO 2 neutral Plant production: CO 2 (or HCO 3 ) + H 2 O + sunlight (chlorophyll) (CH 2 O)n + O 2 Combustion of plants (or plant products): (CH 2 O)n + O 2 Energy + H 2 O + CO 2 Without fossil oil and gas, plants are the ONLY organic substances for future energy carriers, materials and chemicals
Recycle (or renewable) times for biomass feedstocks Feedstocks Algae Agricultural crops Grasses Shrubs Trees Oil, Gas and Coal Recycle time 1 month 3 month 1 year 1 year 1-5 years 5-80 years 200 million years From : The enginnering of chemical reactions. 2 nd ed. Pp532 Oxford, 2005
Replacement of fossil fuel with biomass Clark & Deswarte 2008
Chemical compositions: biomass and petroleum jeej5 Main differences: Petroleum components: Biomass components: Low density High reactivity with O2 (higher burning value) High density (small volume) Low(er) reactivity with O2 reduction in volume is needed The most expensive techologies in a biorefinery are pretreatment and fractionation ( 60% of production cost)
Dias nummer 10 jeej5 hvordan er sammensætningen af de tre type af biomasse...? Kan man sige noget on dette og hvad med de andre komponeneter end sukker og lignin? Jens Ejbye Schmidt; 03-09-2009
Biorefinery Definition: Integrated and combined processes for the conversion of biomass into a variety of food, feed, chemicals, biomaterials, and energy at the same time maximising the value of the biomass and minimising the waste
Different types of biorefineries Phase I biorefinery : Single feedstock, single process and single major product Phase II biorefinery : Single feedstock, multiple processes and multiple products Phase III biorefinery: Multiple feedstocks, multiple processes and multiple major products Classification of biorefineries: Sugar (C6/C5) based, starch based, (ligno)cellulose based Oil based Lignin based Etc.
