  1. Developing Solutions for Brazilian substrates Thomas Rasmussen Manager of R&D Brazil

  2. LEADING THE WAY IN ENABLING TECHNOLOGYFOR CONVERTING BIOMASS TO SUGAR TO FUELS AND TO CHEMICALS • World leader in biofuel enzymes • More than 180 researchers dedicated • Only Industrial Biotech Company with R&D center in Brazil Novozymes' R&D locations

  3. BRAZILIAN Feedstocks Sorghum Energy cane Sugarcane • When compared to corn stover, • the pretreated Brazilian substrates: • Are often more recalcitrant • Are often more crystalline • Have often higher lignin content • A significant challenge Sugar beet Eucalyptus

  4. Developing a solution for Brazilian substrates 2009 2012 2011 CTec4 - Bagasse NovozymesCellic® CTec2 on Bagasse Bagasse seemed indestructible Commercial CTec3 It is possible to reach same conversion of PCB vs PCS Pre-commercial version of CTec3 Large improvement with CTec3 (GH61) and 2 step pre-treatment Enzyme dosage (mg P/gC) Data: 72 h, 12% TS Bagasse (PCB) CornStover(PCS)

  5. Using biotechnology to produce biochemicals from sugar-based platforms Petro-based feedstock Enzyme techno-logy Chemicals (bulk, fine, specialty) Fermen-table sugar Fermen-tation Bio-ethanol Sugar Bio-chemicals Chemical catalysis Starch Enzyme techno-logy Enzyme techno-logy Advanced fermen-tation Pre-treatment Cellulose Enzyme techno-logy Enzyme produc-tion Metabolicpathwayengineering enables higher yields & new products

  6. NOVOZYMES’ BIOCHEMICALS PROJECT:GREEN POLYPROPYLENE WITH BRASKEM Strain development and piloting Commercial scale production Demonstration of technology • Market potential • Market size: USD 114.1 billion (2010) • Market volume: 76,964 kMT/year (2010) • Annual growth: 6% • Applications: Car bumpers, plastic containers, drinking straws, toys • Source : SRI Consulting • Price-competitive alternative • The project goal is to be cost-competitive compared to petrochemical routes. Produced from renewables Source: SRI Consulting Partnering strategy to be re-evaluated in the demonstration phase 2010 2015 2020
