What does the future hold for the well establishedChemiepark Knapsack?
Renewable Resources
� Future of chemical industry?!� Oil is running short and becoming more and more expensive
� White biotechnology� New routes to „old“ products� New products substituting existing ones
� Renewable resources = seasonal goods� Storage capacities� Year-round availability of resources necessary
� Large volumes of raw materials necessary for biological conversions� Regional availability important
Scope for future investments
� Field Specialty chemicals
� Segment Industrial Bio Technology (IBT)
� Investment scale Pilot plant € 1-5 million
Production plant € 20-40 million
� Employees 15-20

Site conditions
� Sufficient amount of sugar beet molasses regionally available
� Commodity network, energy and water supply, and waste disposal
on site
Promising products (study by nova Institute)
� Acetic acid� Bio-plastics
� Polylactic acid (PLA)
� Polyhydroxybutyric acid (PHB)
Acetic Acid
� Chemical building block� Mainly produced by chemical synthesis from methane
(Monsanto) � Biological route = old process:
� Vinegar production process known for more than 1000 years
� Two step fermentation process:1. Conversion of sugar to ethanol (alcoholic fermentation)2. Conversion of ethanol to acetic acid

Acetic Acid
� Many fermentation steps� Large amounts of extracting
agent
� Laborious process compared to the chemical synthesis
PLA
� Lactic acid is made from maize, sugar cane, sugar beets, wheat or other biomass containing large amounts of sugar (dextrose)
� PLA is a thermoplastic and allows similar processing techniques and applications as conventional plastics
� Until now, limited industrial scale PLA production, but huge market potential� Production of PLA in Europe is for a limited number of committed
customers and does not satisfy the growing demand
� Applications:� Plastic bags, tableware, food packaging
� Durable hard plastics

PLA
� Lactic acid production:� Many process steps� Different processes to be explored
� Polymerization to PLA rather straight forward
� Especially promising, if lactic acid is used as raw material
PHB
� Employed by microorganisms as a form of energy storage molecule
� Crystalline, brittle in pure form� Copolymerization to alter the properties necessary
� Biocompatible, biodegradable� Suitable for medical applications
� e.g. stents
� Until now, very limited industrial scale production, but huge market potential

Why am I here?
Industrial Bio-technology:
� Being in touch with experts from � Chemical industry � Scope Bio-Tec / Plastics
� Identifying new processes� Supporting scale up processes� Discussing scale up business� Discussing opportunities of
cooperation
Site development for the Chemiepark Knapsack:� Exploring the possibilities
for building a� Pilot plant� Production plant located
on the Knapsack site
Summary
� Chemiepark Knapsack perfect location for bio based production� Commodity network� Regional availability of resources
� Due to increasing oil prices, alternate bio-based routes to bulk
chemicals will become attractive (acetic acid)
� New bio-plastics produced from renewable resources already
interesting alternatives to conventionally
produced plastics
� No large scale production in Europe yet – first mover
� Easy start for businesses due to the plug and play concept, powered by Infraserv Knapsack
