Integrated large-scale
biomass supply:
The Danish + 10 mio tonnes study
Dansk biomasse til industriel anvendelse, potentiale
og barrierer
Uffe Jørgensen, University of Aarhus
Niclas Scott Bentsen, Vivian Kvist Johansen,
Morten Gylling and Claus Felby
University of Copenhagen
We can make anything from plants
• Food, feed, fuels, chemicals, materials
and CCS
• Biomass is seen as one of the
elements of a future sustainable
economy
• Building a bio-based low carbon
economy requires GIGA TONS of
biomass
• This presentation is about how we
may approach a sustainable biomass
supply using the biology, technology
and infrastructure already available
…in the state of Denmark
• Renewables accounts for 27% of
the energy supply. 66% is from
biomass)
• Current use of biomass 8 mill
tons/year (3 mill tons inported)
• Biomass is planned to take up
20-30% of the total energy
supply
• This will require approx. +10 mio
tons of biomass
• How much of that biomass can we
produce ourselves?
Waste
Straw
Wood
Biogas
Skov & Landskab
2G biofuels and biorefineries may
avoid the food/fuel conflict
• But if we start replacing food and feed crops with
energy crops it will basically be the same problem
• It is a question of land use, as land is the ultimate
limiting factor, not XX tons of biomass
So….
• If we put land as the limiting parameter, how should
we approach the supply of biomass?
• Expansion or intensification?
Expansion: Feeding 9 bilion people
+++Meat
Today we grow crops
on an area the size of
South America
+Meat
++Meat
++++Meat
+++++Meat
Intensification:
Increased biomass ressource from the same area?
•For more than 10,000 years we have
optimised our crops for food and feed
Intensification but under constraints
• Existing agriculture and forestry
• Crops, trees and farming/forestry
practice
• Already established established
infrastructure
• Could danish agriculture and forestry
deliver 10 mill tons extra biomass by
2020 under the assumptions of:
• No reduction in food production
• No extra land use
• Reduced environmental impact
• Sustainable intensification is it a
possibility or a pie in the sky?
Danish agriculture and forestry
• No idle land -60% of the area is
farm land
• Current harvest ca. 18 mill t
• Mainly agriculture
• 80% is used for animal feed
• 17 mill tons surplus of manuer
• Surplus of straw
• Large import of wood
Three scenarios for 2020
Business as usual BAU
• No change in crops or technology
• Annual yield increment approx. 1%
• More collection and use of existing biomass/residues
• High use of manure
Biomass optimized
• High straw yield cultivars
• Increased collection of straw and wood
• Less share of oil crops –higher share of energy crops
• Fertilization of grass in wetlands areas
• Verges, weeds, secondary crops etc.
• High use of manure
Environmentally optimized
• No removal of straw in low soil carbon areas
• Maximum use of secondary and energy crops
• No cereals in areas with high nitrate leaching
• Increased forestation
• High use of manure
Data for calculations and
scenarios
Productivity:

Geographical data:
• DJF geodata,
• Fertiliser accounts,
• GIS maps of roads, watercourses, urban
and wooded areas,
• Digital field maps,
• Nitrogen leaching maps
• Soil carbon maps
Better solar energy capture: Potential yield
increments
•Current yield of wheat 9 t/ha
• Current yield of corn 12 t t/ha
• Potential yield of corn + winter
rye 18 t/ha
•Potential yield of beet 26 t/ha
• Potential yield of Miscanthus : 20 t/ha
Make use of the whole growth season
C4 Photosynthesis
+ 10 mio tonnes is possible!
BAU can deliver +4 mio tonnes
• Achieved by:
• Existing technology and existing
crops and trees
• Use of the full growth season
• Intermediate crops
• High biomass yield varities
• Higher share of perennial crops
• Can we mantain food production?
• Environmental impact?
Can food/feed production be mantained?
• Loss of area for food crops
approximately 200,000 ha (7%)
• Yield increment and more
efficient production can not make
up for the full loss
• High feed value carbohydrates
and proteins are present in the
biomass
• Biorefinery feed products are
important
• Development of separation
technologies are important
• Always conserve protein!
Environment: Areas with low nitrate retention

Visions
•
Create new knowledge on complex functions of plants - as individual
organisms and in crop populations
•
Use synthetic biology to exploit plant systems diversity and identify,
characterize and reassembly
•
Gain fundamental knowledge that can be exploited in molecular breeding to
develop crops with stable or increased yields under adverse growth conditions
•
Increase the yield and sustainability of plant production by optimizing resource
use efficiency and population performance.
•
CPSC director Dr. Dario Leister
Technology backend
• Biomass from many sources.
Technology must handle:
•
•
•
•
Low
Low
Low
Non
to high salt levels
to high protein content
to high moisture content
carbohydrates (lignin)
• We need technology for
processing of lignin
• Need for separation technologies
• Processes for upgrading and
separation of protein has a high
impact on land use efficiency
Technology development
Metabolic yield vs. process yield
• Megaton-scale
• Hydrolysis and anaerobic
fermentation are
thermodynamically dowhill
• The lower the energy quality
we can use as process
energy, the more we can
reduce entropy i.e. loss of
work
• By combined biochemical
and thermal processing we
may optimize the level of
services (work) from the
biomass

Conclusions and perspective
•
We have only presented scearios!
•
It is possible to boost biomass production in intensive
modern agricilture –sustainable intensification
•
Environmental benefits from perennial crops
•
Economy –some of the biomass will be to expensive if
environemntal benefits are not priced.
•
Job creation. Direct employment 20000-25000 jobs
•
A biorefinery sector is important for converting different
biomasses and for recovery of protein
•
Looking ahead; using land as the limiting factor and
minimising land use will improve sustainability and avoid
technology pitfalls
•
We need to focus more on ressource efficiency, optimize use
of all biomass components
•
We can make it with existing agriculture and forestry
–not one extra m2 of land. Bye, bye ILUC 

• Vision:
– The Center will facilitate the emergence of the next generation of cell
factories. Cell factories will transform the production and manufacture
of chemical structures. The Center will lead this transformative
development
• Mission:
– To determine the range of molecules that can be produced
biologically – Basic research
– Shorten the strain design and development process – Translational
research
– Innovation through development of new technologies and transfer of
knowledge to industry for the benefit of society.
– Development of talent – the future driving force of bio-based

Summary
• The CFB has been built over the past 2.5 years and should be in its full
constellation by the end of 2013
• There will be about 200 FTEs associated with it
• The CFB is focused on genome-scale approach to cell factories design
• The CFB wants to build new strain design procedure based on an iterative
model-guided procedure
• The CFB is developing a suite of innovative experimental and
computational technologies
• The CFB has picked a few model molecules to work on, but will
reexamine this selection with its new econometric unit
