  1. Food,Sugar and Biofuel Production by Cultivation of Sweet Sorghum in Tideland Molecular Breeding Research Institute Branch of Biotechnology, State Academy of Sciences, D.P.R.K

  2. Background - Limitation of cultivation area • Advantages of Sweet Sorghum · Accumulation of sugar in stalks · Annual plant in temperate zone

  3. Project objectives • Development of salt- tolerant transgenic Sweet Sorghum • Building of pilot-plant for extraction of useful materials including sugar. • Building of pilot-plant for biofuel production • Modernization of analytical, experimental equipments.

  4. Outputs • New Sweet Sorghum cultivars which are able to ensure high and stable production in land with 2~3% of salt • New strains of microbes with high fermentation activity in our country's conditions • The process of pilot scale willbe established. • to extract various value-added materials including sugar from sweet sorghum • to ferment stalk waste to produce biofuel • Various techniques will be developed • for cultivation of new cultivars of Sweet Sorghum I • extraction of useful materials including sugar in industrial scale • production of biofuels by fermentation of stalk waste of Sweet Sorghum

  5. Activities • The implementing institute • Molecular Breeding Research Institute • Branch of Biotechnology, • State Academy of Sciences, D.P.R.K • - Predicated period • from September 2012 to August 2017

  6. Activities • To develop sweet sorghum cultivars with salt tolerance which can be cultivated in tidelands of our country • To enhance the activity of microbes which are harnessed to ferment the wastes of sweet sorghum • To establish the pilot plant for extraction of useful materials including sugar from sweet sorghum stalks and fermentation wastes to produce biofuels. • Project monitoring and evaluation

  7. Expected Budget • Equipments, reagents, materials: 150,000USD • Training of technical staffs in abroad: 30,000USD • Equipments for the pilot plants: 100,000USD • Construction of the pilot plants: 20,000USD Total:300000USD
