Explore proposals for CO2-neutral beet sugar production, including steam drying beet pulp and using alternative energy sources. Learn about CO2 reduction projects like Rødsand Wind Park and thermal gasification. Discover how cost-effective steam drying can reduce CO2 emissions and the benefits of making boilers CO2 neutral. Find out about fuel-saving options and the efficiency of replacing thermal fuel with electricity in recent projects. Consider the potential of steam dryers and MVR in standalone installations for sustainable sugar production.

Steam Drying Kasper Larsen Arne Sloth Jensen Towards CO2 neutral beet sugar production
Future demands from lawmakers etc. • No emissions • Only use CO2 neutral energy sources • Perhaps beets as an energy crop?
Proposals for solutions • Steam dry the beet pulp and burn it • Alternative energy sources • Use MVR, no boiler, big electric consumption. Alternatively all sugar produced from cane. (self-sufficient with energy)

Conclusion. • Reduction of CO2 is costly. • Step 1: Steam drying at 250 €/ton CO2/year is cheaper than most other projects • Due to fuel savings, steam dryer will be paid back in 2-8 years • Step 2, make boiler CO2 neutral. • Best option currently seams to be Gasifier. • Steam dryer and MVR is a good solution in stand alone installations.
