3. WHY?
(Deloitte, 2014)
approx. 12% of the global land
surface is used for crop cultivation
(Foley et al., 2005, Ramankutty et
al., 2008).
Rockström et al (2009) propose that
no more than 15% of global ice-free
land surface should be converted to
cropland.
More than 40% of available lands are utilized as agricultural area in
EU27 (Eurostat, 2015).

8. A European Project supported within the Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development
approx. 192 million tons (EU-15) of by-products from fruit and vegetable processing industry
approx. 80.000 – 120.000 tons of by-products in the Ebro Valley
AGRO-INDUSTRIAL BY-PRODUCTS

9. AVAILABILITY
Occasional gaps in the
availability of a feedstock
should be recognized and
alternative plans made.
e.g. combine feedstocks

15. PRE-TREATMENT
PRETREATMENT OF BY-PRODUCTS
Effect of Pretreatment method on lignocellulosic biomass (Mosier et al., 2005, Hendriks & Zeeman, 2009)

(FP7/2007-2013) under grant agreement n° 289603

16. HYDROLYSIS
HYDROLYSIS OF BY-PRODUCTS
Hydrolysis of pretreated biomass involves cleaving the polymers of cellulose and
hemicellulose into their monomers. Complete hydrolysis of cellulose results in
glucose, whereas the hemicellulose gives rise to several pentoses and hexoses.
