CONTRIBUTIONS TO PROJECT
Pretreated biomass (WP1)
Further optimisation of the pre-treatment to meet the requirements from other partners and production of pre-treated biomass for multiple WP’s and partners in SUPRABIO. Different fractions from selected processes steps in the BioGasol pilot plant will also be distributed to the partners.
Isolation and metabolic engineering (WP2)
By implementing BioGasols unique cloning techniques for metabolic engineering in thermophilic bacteria, BioGasol will perform genetic alterations in selected production strains. Introduction of genes and/or elimination of selected genes will be conducted, depending on which product is sought to be produced in larger quantities or which by-product is targeted for elimination. A range of new isolations will be tested, cloned and benchmarked against already well documented production strains.
Demonstration (WP6)
Using BioGasols existing pilot plant with continuous pre-treatment and fermentation reactors and new 2m3 reactors the processes developed in WP2 will be scaled up. Also further optimisation of the continuous pre-treatment will be made to support the requirements from other partners.
Project coordination
As BioGasol is the work package leader of WP1 & WP6, much effort will be put into ensuring efficient and timely implementation of both work packages, as well as integration into the rest of the project.
EXPERIENCE AND FACILITIES
BioGasol is a combined biotechnology and engineering company in the field of renewable energy. The core competences lie in the development and design of process technologies for the production of bioethanol and other energy products from lignocellulosic biomasses.
BioGasol has developed proprietary technologies within pretreatment, biogas production and a unique C5-fermentation for maximal ethanol production. The BioGasol concept is a well-integrated technology utilising more than 90% of the energy potential in the biomass. The production of other biofuels, such as methane hydrogen and solid fuels, adds value to the overall process benefit.
The technology can be used for green field plants or for bolt on plants to existing first generation ethanol plants.
Our road map towards the market consists of four gates. We are in the third gate where we have a number of projects related to demonstration plants and technology development projects with international partners such as Tate & Lyle.
