6 Status : Successes and Potential Current situation many examples of products coming from biomass, for diverse applications including high performance. Europe Europe a leader in agro production, Europe a leader in chemicals production, European raw materials from biomass still to develop for chemical use. The future A positive trend, Drivers: economics, regulation, innovation, Opportunities to create. 6 J.M.Pujol

7 Data to Consider : Today stable or decreasing oil production : 4 billions tons / year chemical industry uses 12 % of oil production (half as raw materials) increasing agriculture production : 4 billions tons / year chemical industry uses 2 % of agriculture production cellulose is the most abundant organic feedstock: more than 50 % of biomass, quantity synthesized by plants is 50 to 100 billions tons per year paper industry uses 1 % of cellulose production Cellulose > 50 Gt 500 Mt Oil Agri culture 300 Mt Oil for chemicals 4 Gt 4 Gt Cellulose for paper 7 J.M.Pujol

8 Future Growth Based on Biosourced Feedstocks Rhodia 4 billions sales employees France : 7 % sales, 30 % production, 33 % employees, 50 % R&D 2009 : 11 % raw materials coming from biosources cellulose ethanol oleochemicals guars Growth Ambition : increase based on sustainable development Ambition 2017 : 15 % raw materials coming from biosources 2020 : 20 % 8 J.M.Pujol

9 Future Growth should be based on Major Feedstocks Most important opportunities for chemical industry came from feedstocks driven by mass applications Oleo Feedstock (palm, soy, rapeseed ) food applications developed the feedstock biodiesel derivatives generated glycerol as a interesting feedstock for chemical industry Sugar/Starch (cane, wheat, corn...) food applications developed the feedstock biofuel gave an additional development and generated bioethanol interesting for polyethylene, polyoxyethylene, new fermentation biotechs may lead to new products Lignocellulose (pine, eucalyptus... bagasse) paper applications developed the feedstock future bioethanol 2nd generation may create coproducts interesting for chemical industry. 9 J.M.Pujol

17 Biosourced Fatty Acids Feedstocks for Many Surfactants Surfactants : molecules made of two distinct blocks: one presenting a strong compatibility with oils, one presenting a strong compatibility with water. fatty acids lauric C 12 cetylic C 16 oleic C 18 stearic C 18 erucic C 22 + polar part ions hydrophilic blocks surfactants ionics anionics cationics amphoterics non-ionics sourcing coconut palm kernel palm soybean rapeseed 17 J.M.Pujol

18 Biosourced Surfactants Applications in Fluid Formulations Due to their properties: foam control, surface modification, cleaning, emulsion, rheology : Miranol, Rhodasurf, Rhodameen Surfactants are used as performance additives for fluid formulations in several industries : personal care, home care, metal treatment, industrial cleaning, oil extraction, crop protection. The renewable source is a positive element for higher value added applications. 18 J.M.Pujol

19 Amphoteric Biobased Surfactants : Well Suited for Personal Care Betaines amphoteric surfactants : Mirataine Fatty acid + DMAPAmine + choroacetate Na very soft and foamy surfactant, compatible with other surfactants and soluble in electrolyte solutions emulsifiers, thickeners, antistatics, foaming agents for : shampoos, body washes, liquid soaps, bubble bath gels, conditioners,detergents. 19 J.M.Pujol

20 A Natural Origin Expected by the Consumers Cocoylisethionate sodium Geropon fatty acid + Surfactant for cleansing personal products shower gels, shampoos, facial cleansers, liquid soaps, brings softness for skin cleansing care, foaming agent efficient with hard waters, forms a light foam, leaves the user with a cleanliness and soft care feeling with light moisturizing. The consumer is looking for a natural product for skin care and soft feeling. Miracare Plaisant brings : high softness, deep cleansing, soft and silk feeling after use. 20 J.M.Pujol

21 Natural Oils : A Feedstock as well for Plastics Sebacic acid C 10 is synthesized from ricinoleic acid extracted from castor oil Polyamide 6,10 is prepared from diamine C 6 and sebacic acid C 10 PA6,10 broadens polyamides application field to high tech applications with: strong mechanical and thermal performances similar to PA 6, with a high melting point (215 C) an exceptional chemical resistance, similar to polyamides 11 and 12 Used to manufacture pipes and tubes for engine fuels in automotive applications Engineering Plastics are often able to replace steel and aluminum, since they can bring significant weight savings. A high performance application for a biosourced product in a highly technical sector. 21 J.M.Pujol

22 Polyamide 6,10 From Industrial Yarns to Engineering Plastics PA 6.10 is produced from 60% of natural resources Current market PA 6.10 is about 25kT mainly in monofilaments and toothbrushes Global castor oil production > 500 kt, less than 1 % of global production of natural oils Primary uses are in soaps, paints, lubricants Sebacic acid global production 25 kt, 5% of castor oil consumption Castor Oil Sebacid Acid 73w% 64% Castor seeds PA C Butadiene NH3 30w% 21w% ADN HMDA 36% 22 J.M.Pujol
