BioChemicals & BioPolymers: Breadth of Raw Materials including Harmful Greenhouse GASES / WASTE(s);FEB 9-11,LAS VEGAS

Dear Colleague, 
NOV 29: Leaders of 150 countries including President Obama, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg of the U.S. gathered in Paris and vowed to reduce the emission of planet-warming greenhouse gases. While most major corporations around the world have escalated their efforts in recent years on improving the "Environmental Impact & Sustainability" via several routes, some very intriguing technologies have emerged lately that convert the harmful greenhouse gases (CO2 and CH4) into useful products. These technologies have entered the commercial phase and will push the "Environment Protection & Sustainability" to levels never seen before; that is, first reduce the emissions and then "Further Reduction" by conversion to useful products. At this Feb 9-11 BioMass Conference, there is a session on "Waste & Greenhouse Gases as Raw Materials"; Dr. Yash Khanna will present an overview of such emerging-commercial technologies.

Bio-on & SECI to Build Production Plant for PHA from Biodiesel Co-product Glycerol

An agreement signed by Bio-on and S.E.C.I. S.p.A. part of Gruppo Industriale Maccaferri holding, will see Italy's and world's first facility for the production of PHAs bioplastic from biodiesel production co-products, namely glycerol. The two companies, operating in sustainable biochemistry and industrial development of levulinic acid with Eridania Requiring a 55 million Euro investment from S.E.C.I. the facility will be located at an Eridania Sadam site and will be the world's most advanced plant producing PHAs biopolymers from glycerol. The new factory will need skilled personnel specialized in fermentation to produce this revolutionary bioplastic.

PHAs, or polyhydroxyalkanoates, are bioplastics that can replace a number of traditional polymers currently made with petrochemical processes using hydrocarbons. The PHAs developed by Bio-on guarantee the same thermo-mechanical properties with the advantage of being completely naturally biodegradable. Sadam, will work together to build a production site with a 5 thousand tons/year output, expandable to 10 thousand tons/year. 

"We are investing 4 million Euro in purchasing the license for this new technology developed by Bio-on," says Eridania Sadam Chairman Massimo Maccaferri, "because this all-natural bioplastic represents a technological challenge that can contribute towards the growth of our group in the new "green" chemistry industry, with an eco-compatible and eco-sustainable approach". 

"We will create Italy's first PHAs production plant from glycerol with one of Europe's most important industrial groups," explains Marco Astorri, Chairman of Bio-on S.p.A. 

The collaboration between Bio-on and S.E.C.I. S.p.A. today reaches an important milestone and finalizes another building block in the construction of the platform for bioplastic production in the future.

Toray to Supply CF Prepreg to Boeing for Aircraft Production

Toray Industries, Inc. announced it has signed a comprehensive long-term agreement with The Boeing Company to supply carbon fiber TORAYCA® prepreg for the production of the new Boeing 777X aircraft, extending the existing supply agreement for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The new agreement extends the comprehensive agreement that was signed in November 2005 by more than 10 years from this year. The total value of prepreg Toray Group will supply for both 787 and 777X programs for the contract period is expected to exceed 1.3 trillion yen ($11 billion). 

Together with the extension, Toray has made a decision to invest approximately 50 billion yen in new construction of an integrated production line for yarn (precursor), high-performance carbon fiber TORAYCA® with an annual production capacity of 2,000 tons, and TORAYCA® prepreg in the new commercial premises it acquired in Spartanburg County, South Carolina. It represents the first phase of a planned 100 billion yen investment, as Toray seeks to expand its composite materials business in the U.S. The new facility will also be Toray’s first integrated production line for yarn (precursor), carbon fiber TORAYCA® and TORAYCA® prepreg in the U.S. 

Toray will commence production of yarn (precursor) in phases starting in May 2017, and plans to begin supplying TORAYCA® prepreg to Boeing in 2019, following certification. 

As for the 787, TORAYCA® prepreg has been used since the beginning for some of the primary structural materials, including the main wings and body. With Boeing planning to raise the number of 787 aircraft being produced every month from the current 10 planes to 12 per month in 2016 and 14 per month by the end of the decade, and the ratio of larger models also expected to increase, the demand for carbon fiber composite materials also is expected to increase significantly. 

The 777X aircraft is a large-sized, twin-engine passenger aircraft currently being developed by Boeing as a successor to the existing 777, with a plan to deliver the first plane in 2020. With the conclusion of the agreement announced today, Toray’s TORAYCA® prepreg has been officially selected for these main wings. 

Preparing for the planned 787 production increase to 12 planes a month, Toray has already been working to expand TORAYCA® prepreg production facilities at its U.S. subsidiary, Toray Composites (America), Inc., in Tacoma, Washington, and the new facilities there are expected to start operation in January 2016. The integrated production line to be constructed in Spartanburg County, South Carolina is intended to meet growing demand generated by Boeing’s plan to increase production of 787 aircraft to 14 per month as well as the 777X program. The new facility will confidently position Toray to provide Boeing with a stable supply of products. 

Toray plans to expand the production facilities in Spartanburg County, South Carolina in phases, as shipments for the 787 and 777X aircraft grow. 

Toray is aiming to drive an exponential increase in aerospace applications in the composite materials business under its new medium-term management program Project AP-G 2016, which was launched in April 2014. Toray will continue to expand its infrastructure to ensure a stable supply of TORAYCA® prepreg in line with Boeing’s plan to increase output, while increasing the sophistication of its composite materials business in the U.S. as revenues grow.

Market indications show that these products are likely to deliver what many customers are looking for in terms of bio-based content and performance. Renewable Capa™ has been evaluated both in terms of compostability and bio-based content and is also certified as bio-based by the independent Belgian certification body Vinçotte. 

“This is a major milestone in delivering breakthrough technology to this important market for Perstorp,” says Marie Grönborg, Executive Vice President, Business Area Specialties & Solutions. “With this technology our customers can create solutions to keep a step ahead of the competition. We believe in the dynamic bioplastic market which still is young, fast growing and is looking for new innovations. With an annual estimated growth of 20% (European Bioplastics 2015), this is an exciting market for us to be in”, Marie Grönborg continues. 

Perstorp will continue to focus its efforts on three fast-growing bioplastic segments – paper coatings, bags and films, and packaging. It is already well established that Capa™ for Bioplastics is a biopolymer enhancer that offer stability and compatibility, improved mechanical properties, flexibility at low temperatures, and biodegradability. This effort is supported by Perstorp’s full industrial production and pilot facilities in Warrington, U.K. and its modern Swedish innovation center in Perstorp, for bioplastic formulations.
