Dutch Roadmap Biorefinery
§ Title: ‘Opportunities for Dutch Biorefineries’ (2009) § Integrated approach § Four possible routes (moonshots) towards biorefinery in NL
§ Combines short- & medium-term possibilities
h=p://edepot.wur.nl/50725
Four different Moonshots in NL Roadmap
§ M1. Specific
domestic crops
§ M2. Aquatic biomass
§ M3. Imported biomass
§ M4. Residue streams
h=p://edepot.wur.nl/50725
M1. YXY Technology (Avantium)
§ Chemical Catalysis Biorefinery § Pilot plant in Geleen § Feed stocks: cellulose,
hemi-cellulose, starch, sucrose
§ Outputs: Furan based biofuels, monomers for polymers, chemicals, solid fuels
h=p://avanEum.com/yxy/YXY-‐technology/YXY-‐process-‐technology.html
M2. AlgaeParc
§ An oil production and refinery pilot-plant for Omega-3, fuels, chemicals from microalgae in Wageningen
h=p://www. wageningenur.nl/en/ExperEse-‐Services/FaciliEes/ AlgaePARC.htm
M4. BioMCN (2010)
§ Upgrading of biodiesel
byproduct glycerin to biomethanol for transport
§ Plant in Delfzijl opened officially on 25th of June 2010
§ Production capacity of 250 million litres
h=p://www.biomcn.eu
M4. Ecoson (2013)
§ Integrated production of biogas, and biodiesel from animal waste
§ Production capacity
per year: - 9,000 MWh from biogas - 50,000 ton refined fat - 5,000 ton biodiesel
h=p://www.ecoson.nl
M4. Empyro commercial pyrolysis plant (2014)
§ Construction pyrolysis plant (started in 2014)
§ Consist of modules/skids § Feedstock e.g. wood chips § Production of 20 million litres of pyrolysis oil/ year
§ Pyrolysis oil used for
bioenergy and chemicals
h=p://www. empyroproject.eu

Economy of scale §
Many new processes are required for adaptation and mitigation ●

This also holds for the Bio-economy processes.
Introduction of new processes represent considerable risks

Polymer extrusion products
Sugar crystallisation
Sucrose
• Sugar beets • Sugar cane§ • Sugar palm
New technology using a nonsolvent approach ● Location on site; water, leaf and other valuable minerals remain on site for recovery, which can also lead to transport reductions;
Lactose
• DLP
Other sugars*
• Black liquor● • Chicory • Beet pulp • Grass juice
Higher purity in fewer process steps;
§ Feasibility demonstrated
Amino acids
• Protamylasse • Grass juice§ Scaled up • Corn steep liquor/CDS§ Especially
to pilot scale (IPSS)
interesting for the upcoming demand in de chemical industry
