  2. Biorefinery - Business model Borregaard’s biochemicals are sustainable and environmentally friendly substitutes to petrochemicals Borregaard is the global leader in bio based chemicals. Strong innovation efforts increase the value added to our customers.

  3. Borregaard Biorefinery: Evolution Updated: 03.08.2007 - Page3

  4. Biorefining: • The fractionation of biomass into components that may be further refined, giving an optimum and a balanced production of: • 1. Bio Materials • 2. Bio Chemicals • 3. Bio Fuel • 4. Bio Energy • The pursuit of the unique properties of our raw materials – not the destruction of them Updated: 03.08.2007 - Page4

  5. Oil or biomass– green or black carbon? BLACK CARBON GREEN CARBON Sustainable chemicals, materials, ingredients, biofuel

  6. Utilization of biomass– the only renewable source to replace fossil carbon in fuels/materials! • Howweneed to spend greencarbon in thefuture to achievesustainability Howwe spend fossil carbontoday We do need carbon • FLEXIBLE - CONVENTIONAL TRANSPORT 30% Use for materials and chemicals • STATIONARY - INDUSTRY H/P PROCESS & GOODS 40% We do notneed carbon • STATIONARY- RESIDENTIAL SERVICES H/P 30% Use other renewable alternatives for heat/power

  15. Technology: BALI pretreatmentprocess in a nutshell Pretreatedand ”reactive” pulp Bagasse Water soluble lignin

  16. Brown field pilot plant Sarpsborg • Investment 130 mill NOK • 58 mill NOK in investment support from Norwegian government • Operational from early 2012 • Full flexibility for process conditions and feedstock • Scope includes basic plant building, BALI core technology as well as downstream processing • Core IP: pretreatment and hydrolysis • Lignin production • Pentose * fermentation (SCP for fish feed or ethanol) • Importance of pilot: • Verify IP and prove the concept; improve value of technology • Test for and remove potential technology risks identified in full scale plant project • Confirm investment costs before scale-up • Attract potential partners and future financing for full scale plant * Pentose: Sugar from lignocellulose that can not be transformed into bioethanol

  17. Pilot plant – construction start Q1 2011 • Site: Borregaard Sarpsborg, Norway • Approx 450 m2 • 50 kg DM/h input

  18. Process flow: Integration into 1st gen bioethanol Illustrative Sugar crystall. Sugar sol. Molasses Milling Sugar extraction EtOH ferment. Distillation Dehydration Sugar cane Ethanol Heat Sugar sol. Bagasse Bali pre- treatment Bali hydrolysis Bio-waste Bagasse Sugar solution Incineration Co-gen Electricity Sugar conversion Heat Lignin Products e.g. Ethanol, Fish protein
