Founder of Chemrec AB in 1988 – All shares sold to KAMYR in 1990 – Business dev. in Chemrec to about 2000 – Royalty arrangement to about 2015 – 11 patent and patent applications
NovaFiber project 1997 – – Prehydrolysis AQ – Hemicelluloses recovery/valorisation – New pulping processes – NovaCell sulfur free pulping
• Conversion of KappaSturovo mill to NovaCell in 2003
CO2 talloil acidulation project – Commercial plant at Enocell – Sold to AGA/Linde in 2010
BioLime lignin limekiln fuel project Sold to third party in 2010
SunPine AB founded in 2005 – Co-owned by KIRAM, Södra ,Preem and
Sveaskog
NordLight AB founded in 2009 – Co owns MeVa Innovation with Pite Energi
and MeVa Powerplants – Commercial CHP biomass gasification plant
under erection in Piteå
KIRAMs Cellulose dissolving project
Establishing CelluNova project in 2008 – Operated by SP Excellence Center EcoBuild – Establishment of CellRay AB – Filing of patent applications – Trademark protection
Slide 4
A history of R&D and commercialisation of new technologies for the pulp and paper industry
New pulp mill process
equipment at KAMYR AB Founder of Chemrec AB
Slide 6
SunPine Renewable diesel from crude tall oil
Raw materials – Crude tall oil – Acid vegetable oils – Methanol
Products – Talldiesel ~65% – Bio-oil ~35%
Capacity – Up to 100.000 m3 talldiesel per year

Slide 15
SunPine plant Byproducts upgrade and valoristaion
Byproducts – Rosin acids
• Rosin sizing
• Rosin esters
– Phytosterols • Crude β-sitosterol
– Anthraquinone
Slide 17
Next steps – Increase capacity – Fine tuning
Valorize Byproducts – Sale/upgrade of rosin
rich pitch • 30-40 % Rosin
– Recovery of anthraquinone
– Recovery of phytosterols
Slide 19
Cellulose is truly a green material
Regenerated cellulosic fibres is made from forest raw material Attractive price/cost
Very large raw material base
Excellent LCA – Low water use – No fertiliser – No pesticides/insecticides
Flexible – fibres of widely different qualities can be made – High tenacity / High Wet
modulus – Soft, smooth or stiff fibers – Can be blended with other
fibers/polymers
Slide 20
New business opportunity for the forest industry
Scandinavian pulp mills have modern, energy efficient machinery
Over 10 million ton cellulosic pulp is produced in Scandinavia every year
Very low carbon footprint operations
Operating in harmony with environment, no or very low emissons
All infrastructure is in place for manufacturing of dissolving pulp / staple fiber
Environmentally superior sulfur free pulping processes under commercialisation ( NovaCell)
Sulfur free by products sa lignin
Hydrolysates
Furfural
Organic acids
Forest industry in search for new markets for cellulose products

Slide 22
Basic elements of Fiber (wet) spinning
Processing variables: • concentration and temperature of the spinning solution,
• composition, concentration and temperature of the spin bath,
• stretch applied during spinning.
Polymer is precipitated from the solution and a gel filament containing solvent is formed.
A surface layer is formed, which will continue to coagulate towards the inside.
The solvent diffuses from the inside of the filament to the surface into the spin bath.

CelluNova fiber Challenges and opportunities
Low wet strength – < 10 cN/tex
Improvement scope – Spinndope blending – Coagulation bath
design/chemistry – Stretching – Higher cellulose
content/higher Dp – Yarn blending twinning
Low cost potential
Easy process integration
Nontoxic solvents
Nonexplosive solvents
Blending with other fibers
Excellent LCA
Slide 25
CelluNova Further R&D activities
In depth cellulose structural analysis – X-ray ( synchrotron light at MaxLab) – Neutron fiber diffraction – CP/MAS 13C NMR – FT-IR Spectroscopy – Microscopy
Cellulose biorefinery R&D – Kraft, sulfite, soda AQ pilot plant pulping studies – Lignin recovery & valorisation – Hemicelluloses extraction
