1 A wood-biorefinery cluster in northern Sweden Clas Engström, CEO Processum Biorefinery Initiative AB

2 SP PROCESSUM Cooperation, Open Innovation, Business-oriented, Clusterhost, R & D Started 2003 Turnaround 20 million SEK 17 employees 130 Biorefinery R&D project since 2008 Hosting the VINNVÄXT-initiative the Biorefinery of the Future Financing; Memeberchip fees, Structural funds, Interreg, Vinnova, County council of Västernorrland, Region Västerbotten, Örnsköldsviks kommun och Umeå kommun, Kempe Foundation, Swedish Energy Authority. Part of the SP-group since may

3 The Challenge

4 Our region and the site Our cluster region The Biorefinery of Örnsköldsvik

5 The Cluster

6 1 million m 3 Sustainable Forestry! Annual forest growth 120 million m 3

7 The Biorefinery in Örnsköldsvik Cellulose forest biorefinery CO2 in Örnsköldsvik, chemicals Sweden Ethanol derivatives Process Ethanol products fuels Steam, electricity & district heating Talloil Specialty cellulose Energy Hans Grundberg Engineering Development and new products in the upand-running R & D Lignosulfonate Biogas

8 Products of Mo and Domsjö in 1945

9 What is biorefining? Further development of pulp and paper mills, saw mills, CHPplants etc. or Search for drop in chemicals for chemical industry or Something completely new

10 Focus INNOVATION

11 Opportunities

12 Biogasproduction i Craft mill Förstudie: Identifiera lämpliga restströmmar i ett sulfatbruk för biogasproduktion Projekt med M-real, JTI, och Processum

13 PuriMeth Pilot Equipment INTERNAL

14 Methanol Olefins Butanol Forest Chemistry - back to the future Forest industry + Chemical industry A unique collaboration between the Swedish chemical industry and the forest industry Platform chemicals from wood for making green polymeres and chemicals Renewal of two important export industries in Sweden Adresses climate change Will identify the need for political decisions to realize the bioeconomy vision Syngas Sugar System analysis and LCA Discussion platform

15 Transport requirement of 1 kwh for: Pelletized torrefied wood Wood pellets Wood chips,

16 Processums pilot park BIOMASS BIOMASS PRODUCT

17 A unique test site for lignocellulose processing Pilot and demo facilities worth >100 million euro DME pilot Entrained flow gasification pilot Indirect gasification pilots Torrefaction pilot Algae pilot Dryer pilots Wood fractionation pilot Pelletizer pilot Cellulosic ethanol demo Chemical synthesis pilot Viscose and spinning pilot Pulping pilot Membrane filtration pilot Unit operation pilots Gasification pilots TMP pilot Chipping pilot

18 More Biorefining

19 From forest to food Residual process streams Wood Single Cell Protein Food Cultivated fish

20 From lab to demo scale Agar plates Shake flasks Laboratory bioreactor Pilot bioreactor The Swedish demo plant for cellulosic ethanol

21 Feed experiments on fish Various feed formulations containing SCP has been produced and are at the moment beeing tested on the fish Tilapia

22 Our view on biorefining? All biorefineries are unique! Many products to maximise value and minimise footprint! Applicable to old and new sites! All technologies can be of relevance DO NOT TRUST OR WAIT FOR THE ONE Networking and open R&D will speed things up Many technologies ready for scaling up Is the green market there yet? Shall we wait? Forest Industry in Northern Sweden are doing well in R&D and commercialisation, but big scale ups are a challenge

25 Bio4Energy Research Platforms Bio4Energy consists of seven research platforms, each with a own strong research profile. Together they cover a complete system with all tools needed to achieve environmentally and climatically sound biorefineries based on non-food biomass. Forestry products, Agriculture by-products, Waste Fractions Pre-treatment and Fractionation Platform Thermochemical Platform Feedstock Platform Biochemical Platform Catalysis and separation Platform Process Integration Platform Biofuels, Green Power, District Heating, Green Chemicals, Pulp and Paper Environmental Platform

35 Lessons learnt Network and credibility takes a long time to build Tacit knowledge very important Long term finance important Cooperative spirit successful Region is growing Network increasingly outside the region Successful in strengthening existing industry structure Forest Industry in Northern Sweden are doing well in R&D, but big scale ups and commercialisations are a challenge Demos and pilot parks are important Policy very important to take the next step long term demand boosting measures
