Fraunhofer CBP

In view of the finite nature of fossil resources, the growing demand for resources and climate change, the use of renewable raw materials has acquired great significance. The Fraunhofer Center for Chemical-Biotechnological Processes CBP in Leuna closes the gap between the pilot plant and industrial implementation. By making infrastructure and plants / miniplants available, the Fraunhofer CBP makes it possible for cooperation partners from research and industry to develop and scale processes for utilizing renewable raw materials up to an industrial scale. Thus the Fraunhofer CBP represents a hitherto unique platform for the development of new processes up to and including productrelevant dimensions, with a direct link to the chemical industry on the one hand and to Fraunhofer research on the other. The center provides modular process capacities up to 10 m3 plus a wide range of processing, treatment and reconditioning techniques. Focus is laid on the use of vegetable oils, the disintegration of lignocelluloses and the production of technical enzymes.

Johnson Matthey

Johnson Matthey is strongly focused on sustainability across its full business range and this extends through the Process Technology Division. We believe that bio-renewable feeds offer environmental and sustainable opportunities which, when coupled with the best available catalyst and process technology, can also offer economically attractive routes to higher value chemicals. Our focus is to take bio based feeds, essentially sugars and the acids and or alcohols produced through fermentation or derived from oils and fats, especially where they are derived from non-food bio-renewable material, and upgrade this material into high purity and added value products for chemical and fuel applications. We have an established track record having licenced our process technologies, developed initially for the petrochemical industry but modified and optimised for bio-renewable raw material, into a number of applications with over a million tons of annual production capacity based on bio-renewable feeds. JM supplies the catalyst to these and many other plants. We also offer catalysts into the processing of natural based material for use within the food and pharma industries, for example into the production of edible oils and sugar applications. Across the Process Technologies division we are continually looking for collaborative projects with bio-technology groups or end users that wish to investigate the opportunity to adapt classic chemical transformations and adopt them for the conversion of bio based feed material into high added value products across the process industries.

Twence is by far the largest renewable energy generator in the province of Overijssel. Nationally we are also one of the largest generators of renewable energy. We improve our processes continually in order to make increasingly more waste materials suitable for recycling and we generate as much energy as possible from the residue. The synergy between our plants and the possibility of supplying steam and heat as well as electricity means that our energy efficiency is extremely high. Our ultimate goal is a zero waste society, with optimal reuse of goods and recovery of raw materials. Ultimately, energy has to come exclusively from renewable resources. Yet as long as any waste remains that cannot be reused or recycled, we will use that for the efficient production of energy. Figures We generate enough electricity to cover the needs of more than 75,000 households. In addition, Twence produced heat and steam equivalent to the heat consumption of around 57,000 households. This means that the energy produced by Twence is almost equivalent to the total energy consumption of all the households in the city of Enschede.

Bloom Biorenewables

Bloom Biorenewables has developed a technology to selectively convert the most abundant biopolymers on Earth – cellulose & lignin – into added-value chemical products. Our vision is to promote an efficient utilization of resources and the shift towards a green and circular society. Bloom's disruptive technology enables the efficient separation of biomass' polysaccharides fractions (cellulose and hemicellulose) while stabilizing lignin polymers in a near-native structure, thus preserving close to 100% of its ether bonds. This stabilized structure allows, for the first time, to valorize lignin to its full potential.
