Fibenol and Novozymes partner on lignocellulosic biorefining

By -

Type of post: NEWS IN BRIEF.

Based on significant advancements over the past 5 years, Fibenol is now starting up its first lignocellulosic biorefinery in Imavere. The recalcitrant lignocellulosic structures are effectively opened with a combination of Sunburst™ pre-treatment technology and tailored enzymatic cocktails from Novozymes. This combination provides more than 90% conversion of birch wood processing residues into high-quality cellulosic sugars and co-products, including high-purity lignin.

Traditionally, diesel components produced from vegetable oils are made by an esterification process. In fact, HVO are commonly referred to as renewable diesel or green diesel in order to distinguish from Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME), best known as biodiesel. Other acronyms are also used depending on the feedstock, such as Rape Seed Methyl Ester” (RME), “Soybean Methyl Ester” (SME), “Palm Oil Methyl Ester” (PME) or “Used Cooking Oils Methyl Ester (UCOME). In the HVO production process, hydrogen is used to remove the oxygen from the triglycerides and does not produce any glycerol as a side product. Additi...

Alcohol-To-Fuel

Type of post: OVERVIEW. Introduction Bioethanol produced from fermentation of sugar based crops is the major product of the biofuels industry [1]. But, ethanol is not a “drop-in” solution and requires substantial changes in refining or distribution infrastructure. The properties of this alcohol (an oxygenated single molecule) are largely different than those of gasoline, diesel and jet fuel blendstocks (mixtures of hydrocarbons), leading to problems in blends. Ethanol can cause corrosion problems in transport pipelines that were designed to work only with gasoline. In the specific case of the aviation fuel, there are stricter quality requirements than fuels used in road transport. Ethanol shows low compatibility as a blendstock for aviation fuel because of its high volatility and water absorption and low flash point and energy density. Butanol is not as incompatible as ethanol, however, it still poses unacceptable safety risks due to its low flash point and high volatilit...

Introduction The biochemical conversion process has attracted the most attention because of its similarities to the process used to produce ethanol from corn grain. As it was highlighted in the first post of this series, the production process for ethanol made from cellulosic feedstocks requires breaking down the feedstock into fermentable sugars through innovative technologies in the form of pretreatment and hydrolysis. The remaining steps are similar to those used in conventional ethanol plants. 2. Pretreatment The pretreatment is the first step in all of the different processes available for the biochemical conversion pathway but the definition of this unit operatio...

Versión en Español Type of post: Fact sheet. Series: Biobased chemicals – Alcohols. Publication date: 01/06/2021. Last update: 11/06/2021. Description - Diol with 4 carbon atoms. - It is a colourless, viscous liquid. Applications - In the presence of phosphoric acid and high temperature, it dehydrates to the tetrahydrofuran (THF), which is used in various industrial applications such as a solvent in pharmaceuticals. Half of the BDO consumption is used for production of THF. - The second largest market for BDO is the synthesis of γ-butyrolactone (GBL). GBL is used in industrial cleaning products and in the production of Methylpyrrolidone (NMP) and 2-pyrrolidone. - Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) is produced by polymerising terephthalic acid and BDO. PBT is an engineering plastic is used in a wide range of applications, mainly in electrical and automotive component. Conventional petrochemical routes (1) - Reppe process (acetylene): 42% of global capacity. - Davy Process (maleic anhyd...
