Second Stage
2011-2014
Development of key biorefining “proof-of-concept” processes at 1kg DB and their inclusion in conceptual designs of prototype biorefineries.
Results
- Development and experimental validation with wheat straw and corn stover of:
- Batch pretreatment 2 L
- Continuous pretreatment 3 kg/hr
- Batch enzymatic saccharification 4 L
- Batch fermentation 4 L
- Batch dark fermentation 4 L
- Batch purification 30 L
- Batch biogas production 10 L
- Conceptual design of biorefineries at a 10² ton/day DB scale, including the coproduction of advanced bioethanol, biohydrogen and biogas and the production of biobutanol.
- Residual lignin considered to produce biofertilizers.
- Impact assessment of these technologies in the National Energy Matrix Plan.
