Development of integrated lignocellulose biorefinery for co-production of chemicals, transportation fuels, electricity and heat
conference paper
The objective of the Integrated Project BIOSYNERGY (2007-2010) is to contribute to the costeffective use of biomass especially lignocellulose and residues by sound techno-economic process development of integrated production of value-added chemicals, transportation fuels and energy from lab-scale to demonstration at pilot-scale. The aim is to develop innovative, fully integrated, synergetic biorefinery concepts, using advanced fractionation and conversion processes, and combining biochemical and thermochemical pathways. One of the objectives is to make the production of biofuels more cost effective by utilisation of all biomass components at maximum added value. Furthermore the project addresses the identification of the most promising biorefinery chains for the EU based on energy efficiency, environmental performance, socio-economic aspects and cost. The project is performed by a consortium comprising 17 partners from industry, research institutes and universities from 10 EU countries and is supported by the European Commission through its Sixth Framework Programme. This paper highlights the objectives and approach of the project and provides an overview of the R&D results to date.
