  1. BiorefineryÖresundsome reflexions.Bo MattiassonBiotechnology, Lund University

  2. Biorefinery needs many competences • Microbiology • Cell biology • Molecular biology • Fermentation technology • Process technology • Life cycle analysis • etc.

  3. Interesting topic – big challenges • Where are the bottle necks? • Communication • Identification of targets • Choice of strategy • Equipment • Raw material

  4. One can gather competencies .. • But equipment is difficult to finance • Running costs

  5. New crops • Jerusalem artichoke • Cikora

  6. Pretreatment is a bottleneck!

  7. Two tracks…

  8. Two tracks… .. or more?

  9. Detkomplexametaboliskanätverket:

  10. Experiences • It takes some years before the team is fully coordinated • We are ready for new challenge – provided grants are available

  11. Combine chemicals and energy carriers • Lactic acid + ethanol • If you combine and convert e.g. 20 % of the carbon source to lactic acid, then you can produce the ethanol so that the total economy allowing a competitive price for the ethanol

  12. Combining chemicals and energy carriers • Start with the energy carrier– large and safe market, at a low price • Follow up with chemicals– more expensive products and a more difficult market

  13. The combination of BIOREFINERY AND BIOGAS is attractive!

  14. Pilot scale experiments Propionic acid from glycerol and potato juice Polyolsfrom glycerol and potato juice

  15. The biorefinery • It is in place! • Is a resource for academia and industry both in Denmark and Sweden! • Let us use it – it gives the region a unique opportunity!!

  16. Special thanks to: • Josefin and earlier also Casper and their staff at Öresundsuniversitetet/LU Open • The advisory board

  17. Special thanks to Interreg! • Supporting an “unconventional” application! • Continuous interest and support
