Bio-based products‘ value chains

3

• Value Chain 1: From lignocellulosic feedstock to advanced biofuels, bio-based chemicals and biomaterials: realising the feedstock and technology base for the next generation of fuels, chemicals and materials

• Value Chain 2: The next generation forest-based value chains: utilisation of the full potential of forestry biomass by improved mobilisation and realisation of new added value products and markets

• Value Chain 3: The next generation agro-based value chains: realising the highest sustainability and added value by improved agricultural production, and new added value products and markets

• Value Chain 4: Emergence of new value chains from (organic) waste: from waste problems to economic opportunities by realising sustainable technologies to convert waste into valuable products

• Value Chain 5: The integrated energy, pulp and chemicals biorefineries: realising sustainable bio-energy production, by backwards integration with biorefinery operations isolating higher added value components

Biobased Solvents - Update

2013 bio-based solvents market• Total European solvents market is estimated with 5 million tonnes

yearly.

• Different sources (Dechema, Fraunhofer Institute, ESIG) estimate today’s bio-based solvents volume with 50 to 100 KT (1 to 2%)

• JRC Report 2013 (EUR 25743 EN) gives a market of 630 KT bio-based solvents.

• Difference is identified to be related to the ethanol supply chain.

An European market of 630 KT bio-based solvents can be confirmed considering bio-ethanol used directly as a solvent or as a feedstock for other solvents.

Biobased Solvents - Update

Solvents and the Ethanol case (source NNFCC and industry):

• Ethanol global production 2008: 61 million tonnes (> 90% bio-based)

• Most applications in fuels and food & beverages

• Ca. 6 million tonnes for the industry

• Part of ethanol is used directly as a solvent, part blended with other solvents (e.g. ETOH/ETAC blend for inks), part used for downstream products (solvents like ETAC or non-solvents like ethylene, acetic acid…)

• Applications may switch back and forward considering market conditions

• The solvents application of ETOH, being bio-based or not, is very low compared with biofuel but as well industrial applications considering for example the chain ethanol ethylene polyethylene

• Bio-ethanol from biomass is a mature market being highly impacted by policies and incentives.

6

Biobased Solvents - Update

Prediction (what can we reasonably say today)• Main solvents application are ethanol and downstream products or

blends

• Development of ethanol will remain highly affected by regional and local policies

• Other bio-based solvents (alcohols, acetates) are mainly oxygenated solvents and have very low volumes representing no more than 1% of the market

• Their development will depend on competitive production conditions

• Today, it is not possible for the solvents industry to give serious fact based prediction of bio-based solvents market.

7

Biobased Solvents - Update

Some additional considerations in the bio-based solvents context

• Feedstock availability at competitive conditions

• Competitive production process

• Pull from downstream users

• Long term predictability of legal and incentives conditions

• Standardization will give the frame for companies and downstream users to develop their own bio-based strategies
