Abstract
A systematic analysis of the decentral preconversion of lignocellulosic biomass to a chemical intermediate including technological, legal, and economic aspects is presented. A case study of levulinic acid production from 14 types of biomass shows average variations of +/− 15.5 % in yield obviously due to the properties of the raw materials. As high yield is a key for economic operation, this motivates preprocessing technologies tailored to the specific raw material. Technological, legal, and economic analyses show the prospect to establishing decentral preprocessing units. A comparison with central biorefineries demonstrates that economy of scale can be counterbalanced by cheaper feedstock cost and tailored feeding technology, which paves the way for a distributed sourcing of carbon for chemicals.
期刊介绍：
Die Chemie Ingenieur Technik ist die wohl angesehenste deutschsprachige Zeitschrift für Verfahrensingenieure, technische Chemiker, Apparatebauer und Biotechnologen. Als Fachorgan von DECHEMA, GDCh und VDI-GVC gilt sie als das unverzichtbare Forum für den Erfahrungsaustausch zwischen Forschern und Anwendern aus Industrie, Forschung und Entwicklung. Wissenschaftlicher Fortschritt und Praxisnähe: Eine Kombination, die es nur in der CIT gibt!
