IntroductionSusFuFlex project focuses on the production of higher bioalcohols and other
compounds suitable as oxygenates (e.g. butanol, pentanol, mixed alcohols).
The main aims are:1) To study old and novel procedures for microbiological production of biobutanol,
higher alcohols and oxygenates as fossil fuel substitutes2) To develop and optimize catalytic materials and chemical (catalytic) reaction
pathways in the production of bioalcohols and other bio-derived compounds3) To conduct a sustainability analysis of the processes to be developed, to
analyze the atom economy of the new processes and to make a preliminary economical analysis, and
4) To integrate the processes and know-how developed by the research groups.
Why higher alcohols as transportation fuels?

•Butanol, pentanol
and mixed
alcohols
are
also
less
corrosive
than

•They
can
be
used
for
replacing

•Higher

Microbial
approach
in biobutanol production
•Pre-treatment of biomass
Raw materials-lignocellulosic
(pulp mill sludges) and starch-based biomass as a carbon
sourceor -a low-value by-product from food industry, e.g. cheese whey, a by-product from lactose purification, potato peels
•Fermentation of sugars to alcohols
•Solvent recovery, recycling of IL
Summary of results
• The pre‐treatment of lignocellulosics
biomass to fermentable sugars is a challenging task
• Based
on the results, fiber
sludge
(as a carbon
source) will
be potential
for fermentation
process
‐high
sugar
concentration
enough
‐low
amount
of impurities
‐IL residues
low
• Other
sludges
might
also
be
potential
for biofuel
production
CATALYTIC CONVERSION OF BIOMASS INTO TRANSPORTATION FUELS
AIM OF THE RESEARCHDevelopment of novel, chemical (catalytic) reaction
pathways for the production of butanol
and higher
bioalcohols.
MAIN FIELDS OF THE RESEARCHEvaluation of former and novel procedures for chemical production of butanol
–
Chemical degradation of biomass to obtain intermediate product(s)
Development and optimization of catalytic reactions for the production of
butanoland
higher alcohols
–
Catalyst synthesis and characterization
–
Alcohol(s) synthesis over heterogeneous catalyzed reactions
Sustainability analysis and evaluation of atom economy of the new processes
The research will be carried out as a Joint Project with prof. Jean‐Marc
Leveque, Université
de Savoié, France. It is funded by Fortum
foundation,
2009‐2012.
