TOWARDS THE BIOECONOMY:
NOVOZYMES CONTRIBUTION
SALES OFFICES RESEARCH PRODUCTION
Over 700 products in use in 30 different industries in 130 countries
The global leader in industrial enzymes & microorganisms
+6,000 employees worldwide Annual sales of ~2 Billion EUR
14% of revenues reinvested into R&D ≈ 50% market share in supply of enzymes for industrial use
NOVOZYMES – A BIOINNOVATION COMPANY
What are enzymes?
Enzymes are:
proteins used as catalysts to drive chemical reactions
highly specific biotech tools, replacing petrochemicals in many areas of industrial production
a renewable resource, fully biodegradable. Enzymes operate under mild process conditions, eliminate harsh chemicals. They allow producers to get more out of their raw materials
Risk of significant climate change
A growing global population
Increased prosperity and more resource-
intensive lifestyles
Dependency on non-renewable resources
The challenge
THE CHALLENGE
• World population grows by 75 million people each year
• 1 billion people use 80% of the energy while 5 billion use the last 20%.
• 1.6 billion people are still without electricity.
• Necessary to combine the struggle against GHG with the possibility of growth for the third world.
Greenhouse gas reduction when enzymes are used in different production processes
190 kg CO2/ton fatty acid ester
100 kg CO2/ton hide
Vegetable oil
Leather
Bread
Cotton yarn Laundry detergent
Pig feed Cosmetics
Pulp/paper Cheese
5−80 kg CO2/ton feed
1,000 kg CO2/ton yarn
6−150 kg CO2/ton pulp/paper
280 kg CO2/ton cheese
44 kg CO2/ton oil
110 kg CO2/ton bread
150 kg CO2/ton detergent
THE TRANSPORT CLIMATE CHALLENGE
The transport sector is responsible for about 25% of global CO2 emissions
Second-generation (cellulosic) bioethanol will reduce CO2 emissions by approx. 90%
Today, bioethanol and biodiesel can reduce CO2 emissions by 30−70% compared to gasoline
Source: UN-Energy, International Monetary Fund, EU JRC, US DoE
Transport is the fastest growing CO2
emitter and is expected to be the main driver of global emission growth
BIOFUEL IS THE KEY TO REDUCING GLOBAL CO2 EMISSIONS
BIOFUEL PRODUCTION CREATES JOBS AND IMPROVES THE ECONOMY
Source: IRENA annual review of jobs in renewables (2014, Wasted report (2014)
Today
1.45 million jobs in 2014 in the
liquid biofuels sector in 2014
globally. First employer is Brazil,
followed by the US and the EU is
third with 108,000 jobs according
to IRENA
2G potential in the EU by 2030
300,000 jobs in Europe from converting
220 million tons of sustainably available
agricultural residues, municipal solid waste
and forestry residues into 2G, replacing
16% of EU transportation fuels and
generating up to €15 bn additional revenues
FOOD AND FUEL IS POSSIBLE!
70% of the world’s agricultural area is used for livestock
Less than 2% of the world’s available crop area is used for biofuel feedstocks
1.4 billion ha of land – or 28% of the world’s total agricultural area – is used annually to produce food that is either lost or wasted.
How do we use the available land?
In Europe significant arable areas lies idle: every year 0.5 million ha of arable lands are abandoned in the EU.
Many energy crops for 2G ethanol can revitalize arid lands and prevent desertification
Plenty of oils and fats of high or low quality available for biodiesel
Increased biofuel production will not reduce land availability

First real commercial enzyme use in oils and fats processing Infant milk replacers like Betapol – OPO fats
Babies were given standard cows milk But cows milk do not have the proper fat structure for infants.
In the old days…
With bioinnovation…
… The fat structure in Betapol® matches the structure of breast milk fat as closely as possible. The OPO fat is produced using a 1,3 specific lipase, as no harsh treatment is involved, high quality products suited for infants can be made.

Cocoa butter equivalents – POP, SOS fats
... Cocoa Butter Equivalents were made from Shea nuts . The tree grows widely and naturally in West Africa.. But even as demand for CBE grows the supply of nuts become increasingly unstable
In the old days…
With bioinnovation…
... Cocoa butter Equivalents can be made from abundant vegetable sources. Different production strategies are pursued, most involve more than one enzyme stage, for production of the structured lipid

Enzyme increase yield in vegetable oil refining
... degumming of vegetable oils was achieved using alkaline processes. This used large amounts of water and energy
In the old days…
With bioinnovation…
… enzymes improve yield in physical refining of oils thereby increasing refining margins
Lecitase®
Enzymatic Rearrangements of oils & fats
World largest margarine fat producers use enzymatic interesterification, Many @ several plant sites
Increasing public demand for removal of trans fats

Improving feedstock flexibility for biodiesel
With bioinnovation…
... diesel will be biodiesel made from used cooking oils, acid oils, PFAD, vegetable oil or animal fat. Even FOG and brown grease are used Biodiesel reduces greenhouse gas emissions and is made from renewable resources.
Mixture of lipases
Economical benefits for the enzyme based process are based on
Feedstock flexibility
Enable use of lower cost raw materials
Used cooking oil, fatty acid distillates, and corn oil from ethanol plants available at much lower cost than refined soy, rape and palm – typically 100-200 USD/ton discount
Some feedstock might even have negative cost, FOG from wastewater plants
The enzyme process oils independent of the FFA content
Energy consumption
Significantly lower methanol rectification costs
Low methanol surplus dosed
Methanol is re-used with glycerin-water phase
Glycerin is pure
Technical grade glycerin can be sold at high value
> 100 plants World-wide use our enzymatic solutions to improve their oil & fats processing
