BioRefinery
 Biorefining: Sustainable processing of biomass into
a spectrum of bio-based products (food, feed,
chemicals, materials) and bioenergy (biofuels,
power and/or heat).
Problems with industrialisation
 Serious problem.
 Government and
industry tried to put
an end to the water
pollution,
technology was
insufficient to be
economically
feasible.
 1900-1950: “Water
pollution is part of
industrialisation and
a price that people
pay for prosperity”
A nauseating stench rose from the canals. The
watercourses were littered with dead fish
floating on their backs, because the water was
so filthy that it had become useless for animals
and humans alike, even the pumps produce
nothing but spoilt liquid
Quote from: Anthony Winkler Prins (1872)

Previous attempts were not successful
New driver for innovation
 After World War II environmental awareness increased.
● New laws: 1969: “de vervuiler betaald”
● Financial aid for research and reorganisation
 Now: Separation of proteins at an industrial scale for
biorefinery.
