SUNLIQUID sunliquid® large scale demonstration plant for the production of cellulosic ethanol

Coordinator: CLARIANT PRODUKTE (DEUTSCHLAND) GMBH (DE)

The aim of the proposal is to build a sunliquid® pre-commercial industrial scale demonstration plant for the production of lignocellulosic ethanol based on Clariant Produkte (Deutschland) GmbH’s sunliquid® process. The sunliquid® technology is an innovative process for the production of cellulosic ethanol from lignocellulosic feedstock. It features highly optimized enzymes for maximum yield, an integrated enzyme production to ensure lowest production costs, simultaneous C5 and C6 fermentation which increases the overall ethanol yield by about 50% and an energy saving separation technology.

About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)

The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.

EU contribution: €23.0M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 4 years from 2014-04-01 to 2018-03-31.
