%T OrCaCel - OrganoCat plant and pulping combinations for the full valorization of lignocellulose from marginal land grown perennial plants

%X The full valorization of lignocellulose residues is a crucial step to obtain ecological and economic figures in future biorefineries. The recently developed OrganoCat process is a promising alternative to deliver non-degraded fractions of the three main carbon components of lignocellulose. The OrCaCel project aims to combine plant science with analytics and chemical engineering to adapt the OrganoCat process for different types of plant biomass that is obtained from perennial plants growing in low-input production to minimize environmental footprint.Within the OrCaCel project different biomass fractions will be produced in low input production systems and analyzed, emphasizing a further use with strong industrial application options. Therefore a multi-kilogram scale plant for the OrganoCat process will be established. Data generated by characterizing the OrganoCat product streams will be correlated with those provided by the analysis and characterization of the original biomass, to create new conversion chains for biomass determined for defined chemicals and energy storage.Preliminary research focused on Sida hermaphrodita, a perennial plant from the Malvaceae family, which can be cultivated on marginal lands and produces high amounts of biomass. With the screening results covering one year a harvest time best suited for the OrganoCat process can be chosen. The OrganoCat process itself can be adapted to the feedstock by knowing the composition of main components in a particular period (e.g. dominating carbohydrates, pentose-hexose ratio and ratio of three main lignocellulose components).
