2. Brownfield approach

• East Slovakia: biggest unemployment rate, up to 20%• Capital expenditures

of existing abandoned infrastructure • Synergy and energy

autonomy

3. Industrial symbiosis

• Energy produced alongside ethanolØAllows biorefinery to be energy-independentØExcess led into the gridØContributes to the self-sufficiency concept of EU

• Lignin and biogas production as by-products and combustionØHighly effective combined heat and power production from renewable

resourcesØOver 40% primary energy savings compared to separate production

4. Abundant, sustainable biomass

• Help change principles of treating the biomass in SlovakiaØ Teach farmers how to better handle biomass to avoid soil damage

• Use energy crops grown on areas that cannot grow food cropsØ In line with ILUC principals

Existing excess of unused biomass

Agricultural residues:• Wheat straw

(also rye and barley straw)• Rapeseed straw• Corn stover• Soya straw• Woody biomass

Targeted biomass production from degraded/marginal lands

Dedicated energy crops:• Switchgrass• Miscanthus• Sorghum bicolor
