Renewables Chemicals: symbiosis with Biofuels
Biorefineries are the main driver for
renewable chemical products
Biofues: US$ 50 billions (2012)
Today: bioethanol e biodiesel
Brazil has competitive position in this
area (sugar cane)
High and diversify investments around
the world
Diversified actors

Biorefinery Concept
“A processing and conversion facility that (1) efficiently
separates its biomass raw material into individual components
and (2) converts these components into marketplace
products, including biofuels, biopower, and conventional and
new bioproducts.”The Biomass Research and Development, Technical Advisory Committee (2002), U.S. Departments of Energy and
Agriculture

Culture, logistic and scale
Low SSMA concerns in BRAZIL could limit the choices in
new products;
Different biomass, different choices (productivity X land
availability; different composition; possible synergies)
Logistics of transporting raw materials already sets the
current scale of the units of alcohol production in Brazil (max
8 MM tons of sugarcane per year). Production scale and
location of available land will also have impact on the choice
of new products;

Agenda
Conclusions
Both competences(thermochemical / chemical and
biochemical) will be necessary in the future;
It´s not possible yet to define the winners;
Economic aspects will define the winning technologies,
but some aspects should also be considered in this choice:
feedstock availabillity, culture, logistic / production scale,
existent assets and competences;
Biochemical offers more upside, but thermochemical is
closer to commercialization;
