Position of SHOK programs
FuBio – Future Biorefinery program• FuBio program
• 5 year (2009-2014) program entity of FIBIC
• Currently, the on-going programs are FuBio Joint Research 2 andFuBio Cellulose (both 1.6.2011-31.5.2014)
• Main objective: to establish a world-leading competence platformin the field of wood biorefinery R&D in Finland & for Finland
• Focus of FuBio: Novel value chains, in which wood is refinedinto new materials & chemicals
• A competence platform comprises many attributes, for example• People• Business concepts• Processing technologies• R&D and testing facilities, and• Networking

Competence in biorefinery products1) Production of glycolic acid ~15 g l-1 has been achieved by bioreactor
cultivations of the engineered Kluyveromyces lactis strain– Koivistoinen, O.M., Kuivanen, J., Barth D., Turkia H., Pitkänen, J-P.,
Penttilä, M., Richard, P., Glycolic acid production in the engineeredyeasts Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Kluyveromyces lactis, 2013,Microb Cell Fact 12: 16 pp
2) In health-promoting products: the work paves way for the development ofhigh-value products from lignocellulosic material sources and is valuable aspart of the industrial renewal process (4 IDs to date)
FuBio JR2
Competence in biorefinery products3) The developed lignin-fiber composite materials demonstrate competitive
tensile properties when compared to commercial WPC materials (i.e. woodfiber reinforced polyolefins) (3 IDs, 1 patent application).
4) A concept for the production of 3D mouldable paper in paper mill hasbeen developed. The paper material has in lab scale demonstrated betterperformance than commercial samples. (3 IDs)
5) The preparation process for cellulosic membranes utilizing IL as a solventhas been tuned to result UF membranes of properties equal to commercialRC-membranes.

FuBio - Summary• Currently the main industrial impacts of wood biorefinery R&D:
– 5 of the patent applications are owned by an industrial partner orpartners
– Techno-economic modeling has shown feasibility in new businessconcepts
– New processing technologies and solutions are available– R&D and testing facilities and cooperation among partners are excellent– Networking within Finland has developed into solid international
cooperation– Multiple possibilities for the industry partners to start company driven
product development projects together with experienced researchers
– We are several steps closer to the next generation biorefineries
