What is biorefining?
5
European definition (IEA Bioenergy Task 42):– Biorefining is the sustainable processing of biomass into a spectrum of
marketable products and energy

Something left in the fields and in the forests
Is the value addition already optimised?
Can new (greenfield) biorefineries be established?

Pulp and paper industry perspective
• A pulp mill or conventional biorefinery– Kraft cooking to make paper-grade pulp– Integrated bioenergy production– Also turpentine, tall oil
• Emerging biorefineries– Pre-hydrolysis of hemicelluloses to make ethanol– Recycled fibre to ethanol– Gasification to make F-T diesel– Flash pyrolysis and torrefaction– Wood-plastic composites (nanocellulose)– Dissolving pulp
• Future biorefineries– Syngas to high-value products– New products from cellulose, lignin and
hemicelluloses– New wood fractionation methods

Towards bio-economy ?

Summary
22
• Oil and other fossil raw materials cannot be replaced as such
• Biorefineries can ease the growth pressure directed to fossil raw materials by producing alternative products from biomass (bio-economy)
• Market demand difficult to assess
• Integrating new processes to existing industry is the most likely way to go
– Having a transport biofuel as main product can be economically very challenging (needs a strong co-product) difference in scale the next challenge
– Biofuels and high value bio-products should be studied together
