Poul Ruben Andersen, director of bio-energy marketing at Novozymes, a Danish biotechnology company, announced that its Italian partner M&G Group has begun construction of a plant that produces 40,000 tons of cellulosic ethanol annually, which is expected to be completed in 2012. The plant uses wheat straw, energy crops and other biomass as raw materials, not only the first in Europe but also the world's first commercial scale production plant, which marks the official direction of cellulosic ethanol from the laboratory and pilot stages. commercialize.
It is understood that this factory is located in Crescentino, northwest Italy, between Turin and Milan. Vittorio Ghisolfi, president of M&G Group, stated: “The world’s first mass-produced cellulosic ethanol plant, to be built in Crescentino, is both an important milestone and a new beginning. It proves to the world that cellulosic ethanol can be sustainable. The way it contributes to the environment and industry, the current progress is only the first step in commercialization, and the breakthrough in science and technology is far more than that.We are conducting more extensive research on the industrialization of bio-based chemicals and bio-based materials. In the near future, it will invest in large-scale production."
According to estimates released by M&G, the cellulosic ethanol production at this plant will be competitively priced compared to gasoline. At a time when international oil prices continue to rise, the commercialization of cellulosic ethanol not only provides new sources of energy supply, but also has significant implications for rural development and increasing farmers' income.
In the production of cellulosic ethanol, biomass raw materials such as wheat straw, corn stover, municipal waste, or energy crops are first pretreated. Enzyme preparations are then added to convert the cellulose and hemicellulose in the biomass into sugar, and the sugar is obtained through fermentation. Ethanol. Novozymes is the world's largest supplier of industrial enzyme preparations. The close cooperation with M&G in the past two years has provided the new M&G plant with the required enzyme preparation and optimization process.
Poul Ruben Andersen, Novozymes Bioenergy Marketing Director, said: “The groundbreaking of the new plant is an important leap in the industrial biotechnology industry. It marks the arrival of a new green era. This state-of-the-art ethanol plant proves that we are completely Reliance on fossil fuels can be eliminated, and the use of lignocellulose to produce biofuels is no longer a distant dream.Cellulosic ethanol technology has matured, the factory can be achieved after the completion of commercial scale production, supply to the market with a very attractive price Gasoline alternatives."
Crescentino's M&G plant will be self-sufficient in electricity. A power plant will be built near the factory to generate electricity by burning the lignin extracted from the biomass during the ethanol production process. The excess power can also be sent to the local grid.
