CO2 EMISSION REDUCTIONS VS. VARIOUS BIOETHANOL PROSESSES

Non-food cellulosic ethanol can considerably reduce consumption of fossil fuels and CO2 emissions of traffic Food-based biofuels cannot considerably reduce CO2 emissions Food crops are wrong raw materials for biofuels and for the replacement of fossils

HOW FEEDSTOCKS SHOULD BE USED?

Sustainable availability in long term perspective
Non food residue, which does not compete in land use Need to be secured in low price and large quantity Nutrient circulation

Rice and wheat straw, corn stover, EFB, OPF, bagasse are the most potential raw materials and not well utilized However competition with biomass power takes place
Lack of power in many countries Switch from fossils to biomass Condensing power ~ burning of money

It is crucial to identify the most sustainable use of biomass in long term perspective

YIELD OF BIOMASS [BDMt/a] IN SELECTED ASIAN COUNTRIES

Generation of agricultural residues sums up to 1415 BDMt/a. Usage of 30 % of such residues in 3G biorefining would enable bioethanol production of 68 Mt/a in ca. 1360 biorefineries

YIELD OF BIOMASS [BDMt/a] IN SELECTED ASIAN COUNTRIES

Biomasses in India: Generation of agricultural residues BDMT/a: 413.3 Straw and bagasse If 27 % of the available residues were used in 3G biorefining it would enable bioethanol production of 18 Mt/a ethanol in ca. 400 biorefineries Replace completely gasoline by cellulosic ethanol and reduce imports of crude oil by 25% Reduce CO2 emissions by 40 Mt/a Biomasses in China: Generation of agricultural residues BDMT/a: 744.5 Straw and bagasse If 30 % of the available residues were used in 3G biorefining it would enable bioethanol production of 36 Mt/a ethanol in ca. 720 biorefineries Replace 37 % of gasoline by cellulosic ethanol and replace current unprofitable 1G ethanol production Reduce CO2 emissions by 8 Mt/a Biomasses in Thailand: Generation of agricultural residues BDMT/a: 64 Straw and bagasse If 30 % of the available residues were used in 3G biorefining it would enable bioethanol production of 3 Mt/a ethanol in ca. 60 biorefineries Replace 40 % of gasoline by cellulosic ethanol and replace current unprofitable 1G ethanol production Reduce CO2 emissions by 8 Mt/a

Biomasses in Philippines: Generation of agricultural residues BDMT/a: 38.3 Straw and bagasse If 30 % of the available residues were used in 3G biorefining it would enable bioethanol production of 1.8 Mt/a ethanol in ca. 36 biorefineries

Biomasses in Malaysia: Generation of agricultural residues BDMT/a: 13.9 Straw and EFB If 30 % of the available residues were used in 3G biorefining it would enable bioethanol production of 0.7 Mt/a ethanol in ca. 14 biorefineries

Biomasses in Indonesia: Generation of agricultural residues BDMT/a: 140 Straw, EFB and bagasse If 30 % of the available residues were used in 3G biorefining it would enable bioethanol production of 6.7 Mt/a ethanol in ca. 134 biorefineries

WHY 3G formicobio IS SUPERIOR SOLUTION FOR CELLULOSIC ETHANOL

Innovative biosolvent selectively fractionates biomass to its key components:cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin and ash
Generates 40 % more sales revenues than 2G technologies due to high conversion rates and multi product platform Low pressure and temperature operation Energy self-sufficiency and no need of fossil fuels No pollution; full recovery of chemicals and water 95-98 % removal of lignin and hemicellulose

Hydrolysis of clean open structure cellulose fibre to glucose is very easy and less enzymes are needed Fermentation of pure glucose is easy Proven in mill scale in Finland

CONCLUSIONS
Liquid transportation fuels, especially cellulosic ethanol, are needed to reduce the dependency on fossils Biomass conversion value should be as high as possible like in 3G biorefining and Wrong use of biomass should be avoided Food based biofuels are the first step to start, which after biorefineries will take place Cellulosic ethanol demonstration projects should be quickly executed in each country Only first projects need finance, which after business is sustainable! Great interest and opportunities in Asia!
