nova Newsletter July 2016

Dear Readers, nova-Institute’s latest news at a glance – all details in the newsletter below: nova’s conference on industrial hemp that took place in Wesseling (near Cologne) in the beginning of June broke all records: 300 participants from 41 countries made it the biggest event of its kind ever (https://renewable-carbon.eu/news/the-worlds-greatest-conference-ever-about-industrial-hemp-new-president-elected). Shortly after the conference, hemp fibres from the Netherlands were the first technical natural fibres worldwide to receive the well-established ISCC sustainability certificate (https://renewable-carbon.eu/news/world-debut-for-the-first-sustainably-certified-natural-fibre). Next, we will focus on direct use of CO2: On 6 and 7 December, nova will organise the “5th Conference on Carbon Dioxide as Feedstock for Fuels, Chemistry and Polymers”. For the first time, it will take place in Cologne, as the previous location has become too small. The programme features many interesting speakers already and, very importantly: Until the end of August, an early bird discount of 20% on all tickets and a free booth for the first ten exhibitors are available. All details in the newsletter. The bio-based economy needs its own trade fairs to showcase its products and as meeting points for the industry. nova-Institute supports the following three market leaders: The bio-based composites pavilion at Composites Europe, 29 November to 1 December 2016 at Messe Düsseldorf (DE). The meeting point for the whole biocomposites industry, WPC and NFC. The BiobasedWorld will premiere on 15 and 16 February 2017 at Cologne trade fair (DE) and will showcase the whole value chain of the bioeconomy, from feedstocks to chemistry to bio-based products. The MAP EXPO in Eindhoven (NL) will open its doors on 29-30 March 2017 as the first global market place for medicinal and spice plants. The first two nova Sessions on CCU and bio-based feedstocks were well received, shared a lot of information and sparked lively discussions. Because of the active demand, we are offering the nova Session “Biomass feedstocks today and in the future – going beyond food vs. fuel” again on 8 September. Interested parties should register quickly at www.bio-based.eu/nova-sessions/registration to make sure they can participate! The new market study by narocon (Berlin, DE) and nova takes a look at the use of biodegradable and compostable plastics in Europe – at the moment 100,000 t with potential for growth. There is a summer promotion for nova-Institute’s big market study on biopolymers: If you buy now, you will get the data update in January 2017 for free. Which influence will the low oil price have on the growth of bio-based polymers? Last but not least we would like to introduce nova-Institute’s chief financial officer: Stefanie Clermont. Best regards and here’s hoping that summer will finally catch up! Kind regards Michael Carus Managing Director, nova-Institut GmbH P.S.: Is there any topic of the bio- or CO2-based economy you are dying to discuss with other experts in a carefully selected group? Then please take just a few minutes to fill in our short survey. We will offer nova Sessions on the most frequently mentioned topics in autumn at the conference centre at the airport Cologne/Bonn. www.bio-based.eu/session-proposals

Microalgae Process Design: from cells to photobioreactors (4^th edition)

8 – 15 July 2016, Wageningen, The Netherlands

The waters of the world, oceans, seas, rivers, creeks, lakes and even ice, house a tremendous variety of microorganisms able to use light as the only source of energy to fuel metabolism. These unicellular organisms, microalgae and cyanobacteria, have the potential to produce a variety of products. To make economical large-scale production of such bulk products possible, the cost price for production needs to be reduced, the scale of production needs to be increased substantially and the biomass value should be maximized. In this course “Microalgae Process Design: from cells to photobioreactors” the biology and cultivation part are covered.

Microalgae Biorefinery (1^st edition)

18 – 20 July 2016, Wageningen, The Netherlands

To make microalgae a source of bulk products, the cost price for production needs to be reduced, the scale of production needs to be increased significantly and the biomass value should be maximized. To develop a more sustainable and economically feasible process, all biomass components (e.g. proteins, lipids, carbohydrates) should be used at minimal energy requirements and minimal costs while keeping the functionality of the different biomass components. Biorefining of microalgae is very important for the selective separation and use of the functional biomass components. In this course, ‘Microalgae Biorefinery’, the downstream part, i.e. the biorefinery will be in focus.

Deutschsprachige Hinweise / Notes for German-speaking readers

Sehr geehrte Leserinnen und Leser, hier die wichtigsten Neuigkeiten aus dem nova-Institut im Überblick – alle Details im Newsletter unten: Die nova-Konferenz zum Thema Nutzhanf Anfang Juni in Wesseling (bei Köln) hat mit 300 Teilnehmern aus 41 Ländern alle Erwartungen übertroffen und war die weltweit größte Veranstaltung dieser Art aller Zeiten (https://renewable-carbon.eu/news/weltgroesste-konferenz-aller-zeiten-zum-thema-nutzhanf-neuer-praesident-gewaehlt). Kurz nach der Konferenz erhielten Hanffasern aus den Niederlanden als erste technische Naturfasern der Welt das etablierte ISCC-Nachhaltigkeitszertifikat (https://renewable-carbon.eu/news/die-europaeische-hanfindustrie-waechst-kontinuierlich). Nun richten wir den Blick auf die direkte Nutzung von CO2: Am 6. und 7. Dezember veranstaltet nova die “5th Conference on Carbon Dioxide as Feedstock for Fuels, Chemistry and Polymers“ zum ersten Mal in Köln, da der bisherige Veranstaltungsort zu klein geworden ist. Das Programm zeigt schon jede Menge spannender Referenten und ganz wichtig: Bis Ende August gibt es für Frühbucher einen Rabatt von 20% und die ersten zehn Aussteller erhalten einen kostenfreien Stand. Alle Details im Newsletter. Die bio-basierte Ökonomie braucht eigene Messen als Leistungsschau und Treffpunkt der Branche. Das nova-Institut unterstützt die drei folgenden Marktführer: Den Bio-based Composites Pavillon auf der Composites Europe, 29. November bis 1. Dezember 2016, Messe Düsseldorf. Der Treffpunkt für den gesamten Biocomposites-Bereich, WPC und NFC. Die BiobasedWorld wird am 15. und 16. Februar 2017 in der Messe Köln Premiere haben und zeigt die gesamte Wertschöpfungskette der Bioökonomie, vom Rohstoff über bio-basierte Chemie bis hin zum bio-basierten Produkt. Die MAP-EXPO in Eindhoven (NL) öffnet am 29. und 30. März 2017 die Tore für den ersten globalen Marktplatz für Heil- und Gewürzpflanzen. Die ersten beiden nova-Sessions zum Thema CCU und Bio-based Feedstocks wurden sehr gut angenommen und brachten viele Informationen und angeregte Diskussionen. Aufgrund der hohen Nachfrage werden wir die nova-Session „Biomass feedstocks today and in the future – going beyond food vs. fuel“ am 8. September erneut anbieten. Interessenten sollten sich rasch hier (www.bio-based.eu/nova-sessions/registration) anmelden, um ihre Teilnahme zu sichern! Die neue Marktstudie von narocon (Berlin) und nova betrachtet erstmalig den Verbrauch von biologisch abbaubaren und kompostierbaren Kunststoffen in Europa – aktuell 100.000 t mit Wachstumspotenzial. Für die große Biopolymerstudie des nova-Instituts findet momentan eine Sommeraktion statt: Wer sie jetzt kauft, erhält das Daten-Update im Januar 2017 kostenlos nachgeliefert. Welchen Einfluss wird der niedrige Ölpreis auf das Wachstum der bio-basierten Polymere haben? Zum Schluss möchten wir Ihnen diesen Monat die Finanzchefin des nova-Instituts vorstellen: Stefanie Clermont. Mit besten Grüßen und der Hoffnung, dass der Sommer doch noch bald auftaucht! Mit besten Grüßen Michael Carus Geschäftsführer der nova-Institut GmbH PS: Ihnen brennt ein Thema der Bio- oder der CO2-Ökonomie unter den Nägeln und Sie hätten gerne eine Gelegenheit, um es mit weiteren Experten in einer handverlesenen Runde zu diskutieren? Dann nehmen Sie sich bitte 3 Minuten Zeit, um unsere kurze Umfrage auszufüllen. Zu den meist genannten Themen werden wir im Herbst weitere nova-Sessions im Konferenzzentrum des Kölner Flughafens anbieten. www.bio-based.eu/session-proposals
