Kraft pulp and paper mills have several advantages for serving the emerging biorefinery industry as a source of raw materials. This review examines technologies for producing liquid biofuels, chemicals, and advanced materials from woody feedstocks to generate new sources of revenue. Market pull comes in part from government policies that drive substitution of petroleum-based products with biobased equivalents. Kraft mills have ample networks to supply feedstocks, whether these are forest residues or byproduct side streams. Pulp mills are well suited to expand sufficiently to accommodate production of value added platform chemicals that are in demand because of brand owner sustainability commitments.

“…The biochemical route refers to hydrolysis of cellulosic and hemicellulosic parts of biomass into sugars and subsequently converting these into alcohols, usually ethanol, which can be used as fuel or fuel component (see the recent reviews by Virkajärvi et al, 2009, Dwivedi et al, 2009. (Rudie, 2008) Recently, in Norway, Xynergo has initiated collaboration with CHOREN, and is planning to proceed with pyrolysis. The thermochemical processes are typically based on either gasification of biomass to synthesis gas and subsequently converting the purified gasification gas to liquid products (biomass-to-liquids, BTL), or pyrolysis of biomass into bio-oil, which is subsequent upgraded into fuel grade products.…”

Renewable raw materials are increasingly utilized as primary energy or converted to solid, gaseous or liquid secondary fuels. Biomass sourcing and logistics is a key consideration when striving to successful industrial scale operation. Many studies in theory show sufficient biomass potentials and also address logistics. In reality, expert knowledge is required for a sound biomass procurement strategy when making investment decisions. This study demonstrates how sustainable biomass chains are evaluated for commercial plants considering all aspects of cost, risk, and partnerships in global view while also keeping in mind the local site specific operations.
