Sarpsborg biorefinery
Borregaard’s biorefinery concept BALI™• BALI™ is a biorefinery concept
developed by Borregaard for productionof cellulosic sugar and ethanol and lignin performance chemicals
• The BALI™ technology has been scaledup and demonstrated in a 1 mt/dayfeedstock demo plant in Sarpsborg, Norway
• The demo plant has been in continousoperation since Q1 2013
• Feedstock tested: Poplar, sugar canebagasse, spruce and pine
• Excellent sugar and ethanol yield due to low level of inhibitors

Excello™ - cellulosic sugar from Norway spruce• The BALI™ technology is feedstock agnostic, but
current production of sugars is from Norway spruce
• Extensive testing shows that Excello™ can replace 1G sugars without negatively affecting the chemical or biochemical conversion of the sugars
• 100+ kg samples available immediately for testing under MTA
