Technology of Biorefining lignocellulosic biomass • Scale-up to 200L scale “The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Union 13 Seventh Framework Programme (FP/2007-2013) under grant agreement number 246449”
Summary • Brown Juice as Product of a Green Biorefinery is suitable as Fermentation Medium (Biogas so far) - but less carbohydrates are available • Hydrolysate as product of a LCF Biorefinery is suitable as substrate supplement (PHB, Ethanol, ABE) • Utilization of Brown Juice together with Hydrolysate as Fermentation Medium would be a new R&D issue Picture: biorefinery.de GmbH • Partners for biomass R&D and biorefining technology are very welcome 14
