Abstract:
The major objective of the BABET-REAL 5 Project was to develop an alternative solution for the production of ethanol from lignocellulosic biomass at small-industrial-scale (30,000 tdm/year) suitable for a variety of feedstocks, rural areas and countries in Europe and worldwide. During the project, it was found out, that the initial 2G bioethanol concept needs to be regarded as energy-driven biorefinery in the end. This biorefinery can be technically self-sufficient in heat and electricity (if the selling price of electricity is the same as or lower than the purchasing price), and can produce different combinations of energy products (biofuel, biogas, bioliquids), depending on the economic and market conditions in a given region/country. The presented results include the economic perspective, social impacts and also the environmental impact (measured in an LCA). It can be said already that the realisation of the BABET-REAL5 concept (at the moment at TRL 5) would be beneficial in all investigated perspectives and would thus deserve more support to develop the concept until market readiness.
