Verkenning van een bioraffinaderij voor isobutanol in Rotterdam suiker en bietenpulp
other
In 2013, the Iso Butanol Platform Rotterdam consortium investigated the feasibility of building a biorefinery in the Rotterdam region in the short term. The focus was on a biomass value chain with isobutanol as the basic molecule. Isobutanol can be used for the production of sustainable jet fuels, aromatics (paraxylene) and derivatives for additives in diesel fuels. Sugar, syrup (a semi-finished product) and beet pulp are the sustainable raw materials that were studied for this value chain. After pre-processing if necessary, these raw materials can be fermented entirely or in part into isobutanol. Via catalysis, isobutanol can be further converted into three selected products: aromatics such as p-xylene (with hydrogen as by-product) for the plastics industry, jet fuel and glycerol tertiary butyl ether (GTBE) as a diesel additive.
