10% TRANSPORTATION BIOFUELS IN 2020 POSSIBLE CONTRIBUTION OF PRODUCING BIOFUELS IN THE AUSTRIAN PULP&PAPER INDUSTRY

摘要

The EU Directive on Renewable Energy aims reaching a share of 10% transportation biofuels in 2020.The purpose of the work was to analyse and asses the possibilities to produce biofuels from wood in the AustrianPulp&Paper Industry. The considered wood based raw materials were black liquor, wood chips from forest and sawmill residues to produce FT-biofuels - via gasification and syntheses - and bioethanol - via saccarification andfermentation. In total 22 different concepts for three different sites of the current P&P production were developed andevaluated – 17 for bioethanol, 5 for FT-biofuels. The technologies for the production of bioethanol and FT-biofuelsfrom wood are in the pilot and demonstration state, whereas the production of bioethanol from black liquor is state oftechnology and might be commercially applied under favourable conditions already. The successful implementationof the biofuels production in the Austrian P&P-Industry might contribute up to a total share of 3% on thetransportation fuel market in 2020.
