Rachel: "We build the green chemical factory of the future"

In Leuna in Saxony-Anhalt is a modern biorefinery Research arise. The research should encompass all parts of different plants - especially those who are not in the food chain is needed - for the production of chemicals, fuels, electricity and heat use. This will provide new ways to address climate change and resource efficiency opened. "We build the green chemical factory of the future. Thus, we also catalyze the structural chemistry in the eastern triangle of an oil to a bio-based industries. One thing is clear: We must move away from oil," said the Parliamentary State Secretary, Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF), Rachel Thomas on Friday. The BMBF wants to build with ten million euros from the economic support package. Due to the regional proximity of partners from industry and science, the excellent conditions in the chemical triangle Halle-Bitterfeld-Leipzig used.

The BMBF wants the Biorefinery Research Center for the industrial use of biomass together with the state government of Saxony-Anhalt, the Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection (BMVEL) and the Federal Ministry of Environment (BMU) with a total investment of 50 million euros to build. The name of the plant: Chemical-Biotechnology Process Development Center (CBP) Leuna. In addition to the ten million from the economic package should BMBF another two million euros project funding and significant resources from the basic funding of the Fraunhofer Society for the construction and initial research into the flow.

Under the scientific leadership of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft in Leuna to research by the foundation to be created by the most efficient biomass and waste-free for the chemical industry. Rachel raised the importance of the Research Center for the exemplary combination of science and economy: "In the spirit of the high-tech strategy of the federal government, we bring innovation policy with environmental and climate protection and thus make Germany fit for the future." Biorefineries to play for climate protection and resource efficiency is a key role, as energy-intensive chemical processes with high greenhouse gas emissions through environmentally friendly biotechnological processes replaced.

Currently, the share of biomass in the chemical industry, about ten percent. About 90 percent of the basic chemical raw material comes from the fossil fuels oil and natural gas. Germany is largely dependent on imports: When oil to 97 percent, while natural gas and 83 percent in coal to 61 percent. The use of biomass can make a significant contribution to the independence from fossil fuels and energy sources. With a biorefinery will also seek to make maximum use of competition between food production and industrial materials, respectively. energy recovery from biomass cushion.
