The Challenge
Our region and the site Our cluster region The Biorefinery of Örnsköldsvik
The Cluster
1 million m 3 Sustainable Forestry! Annual forest growth 120 million m 3
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
Products of Mo and Domsjö in 1945
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
Focus INNOVATION
Opportunities
Biogasproduction i Craft mill Förstudie: Identifiera lämpliga restströmmar i ett sulfatbruk för biogasproduktion Projekt med M-real, JTI, och Processum
PuriMeth Pilot Equipment INTERNAL
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
Transport requirement of 1 kwh for: Pelletized torrefied wood Wood pellets Wood chips,
Processums pilot park BIOMASS BIOMASS PRODUCT
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
More Biorefining
From forest to food Residual process streams Wood Single Cell Protein Food Cultivated fish
From lab to demo scale Agar plates Shake flasks Laboratory bioreactor Pilot bioreactor The Swedish demo plant for cellulosic ethanol
Feed experiments on fish Various feed formulations containing SCP has been produced and are at the moment beeing tested on the fish Tilapia
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

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
