Activities – Biobased Products

Within IEA Bioenergy Task 42 the focus of the activities is on Energy-driven Biorefineries. This means that the production of (transportation) fuels, power and/or heat is the main goal of the biomass value chains concerned. The valorisation of process (chain) residues to added-value Biobased Products, however, is a must to make the full biomass-to-products chains market competitive and sustainable.

In this Task Activity an inventory will be made of Biobased Products that potentially can be co-produced with secondary energy carriers. Biobased Products that will be dealt with are a.o.: chemicals (specialties, fine chemicals, base chemicals, platform chemicals, functionalised chemicals, ...) and materials (polymers, fibre products, ...). Also the co-production of Human Food and Animal Feed (proteins) will be part of this inventory.

This Task will be performed in 2010. Activities:
  1. Gathering of public information on this issue from Task Partners.
  2. Assessment of this info, coming up with a schematic overview on Biobased Products, incl. types, current/future market volumes, current/future market prices.
  3. Reporting.
