Alternative vehicle fuel feedstock, production and product Karin van der Salm, COWI AB 1 UTVECKLING AV KOMMERSIELL BIOBRÄNSLE UTIFRÅN RÅVARA
Agenda COWI Independent consultant Transfer from fossil to renewable Status renewable Future expectations 2
COWI 360 o approach Independent consultant Our product is our knowledge, we use our knowledge for the benefit of the customers and create better projects and solutions we take a 360 look around the project, a full circle solution for the customers, the end user and society at large the 360 mindset is to use our many different competencies in our solutions, so that we create optimum value 3
COWI and vehicle fuel 50 years of industrial experience Long and solid experience Fossil, nuclear and renewable Technology development elopment in cooperation with universities and private industry Key technical expertise bio-fuel production processes Environmental impact assessment From study to design and construction 4
An example for ethanol Feedstock availability logistics planning mineral balance storage planning 360 Products Main & by product of take Waste handling Energy & Water balance optimization and integration Start-up support Performance verification Technology selection & evaluation Plant location evaluation Public safety Project execution Detailed design Procurement Construction Design prior to investment decision Pre-design, FEED, Basic design 5
The total chain for bio-fuels FEEDSTOCK PRODUCTION PROCESS USER Engiineer 6
Feedstock Today Vegetable oil Wheat, corn Organic waste FEEDSTOCK PRODUCTION PROCESS USER Future Forrest waste Soft celluloses like straw, grass, bagasse 7
Feedstock FEEDSTOCK PRODUCTION PROCESS USER Challenges Availability faces with second generation Mineral balance to be faced in choice of process Collection and logistics low energy density, large volumes more development needed 8
Production process Today 1 st generation Esterification Ethanol production Digesting FEEDSTOCK PRODUCTION PROCESS USER Future 2 nd generation ethanol Gasification and synthetic fuel production like Fischer Tropsch Pyrolysis 9
Production process FEEDSTOCK PRODUCTION PROCESS USER Challenges Technology development large scale demonstration status High investments and low profitability Profitability through by-product utilization and integration with other industries to bio-refinery Stakeholder profile refinery industry, pulp&paper industry, energy sector 10
Product/user Today Biodiesel Ethanol Biogas (CBG) FEEDSTOCK PRODUCTION PROCESS USER Future 2 nd generation ethanol Synthetic Diesel DME/Methanol Biogas (CBG & LBG) 11

Sweden today E85 ethanol 5% ethanol in all gasoline Biogas (CBG) for personal cars, busses and small trucks Biodiesel blend in diesel Production capacity Ethanol 200 000 m3/year Biodiesel 150 000 m3/year Biogas CBG 700 GWh/year (52 Mliter gasoline) About 5% of fuel used in transport sector Through: h Tax reductions in balance with CO₂ tax on fossil Programs for private cars Municipal vehicle programs, busses, waste collection 14
Examples of 2G production process development DME production in demonstration scale Piteå north Sweden Chemrec technology EU founded project Volvo Technology Transfer involvement Operated since 2011 Biodiesel production in commercial scale from tall oil Piteå north Sweden and Gothenburg west Sweden Preem refinery Commercial financing 100 000 m³/year production In operation since 2010 Preem evolution diesel blend 15% tall oil 15
Examples of 2G production processes development Liquefied Biogas for heavy vehicle fuel LBG production in commercial scale Helsingborg south Sweden Terracastus technology, 100% Volvo owned Commercial financing 140 GWh/year production Under design, final investment decision spring 2012 Expected operation late 2013 16
Summery Feedstock availability and logistics Technical, economical, environmental concept Location and integration Financial modelling and bankebility Technology availability Environmental impact and CO2 footprint Product market and logistics 17
