Biorefineries -
Scale
-
Location – collocation with existing pulp processing
-
Niche versus commodities – market is uncertain we need to access international value chains
-
Retrofitting versus greenfields
-
Cost of startup is a barrier
-
Energy perspective initially
-
Possibilities of adding value to waste streams
-
Benign by design
-
Super- efficient catalysts applications
-
Capital Costs – as a barrier to entry
-
Need for detailed EIS and working with the myriad of state and federal legislation
-
Challenges in conservative engineering circles
Market -
Energy
-
Polymers and plastics – secondary products after economies of scale from energy
-
Polymers direct
-
Markets are available for direct product substitution
-
Biobutanol – yields are an issue but a good outcome
-
C5 & C6 sugars from cellulose, as a product is a distinct possibility in the near term
-
Need for IP protection at all levels around products to warrant investment
-
Higher value organic acids, alcohols, high value low volume starting points
-
Need to work with Teir 1 users eg. Auto industry, e.g. Toyota looking for bio-propylene. Volkswagen wanting carbon fibre
-
Formulation makers
Government Policy -
CPRS
-
Development of industrial biotechnology is unclear in both the need or the direction.
-
Major driving outside DIISR is energy
-
Across government coordination necessary
-
Skills development needed
-
Smoother GMO progress through OGTR
-
Need to address waste management streams
-
Incentives required to de-risk plant establishment e.g. tax holidays, accelerated depreciation Improve R&D and skills at all levels – probably ‘best’ placed R&D group is Lars Neilson at UQ.
-
Need for the Bioeconomy to be considered as part of a Nation Building Fund. Need to deal with market failure around investment in developing a sustainable base for national security in food and energy
-
Need for public awareness strategies around bio-based products similar to Biotechnology Australia
-
Bio-preferred program in USA – government procurement
-
Customer acknowledgement of demand for renewable products eg. Coke’s green PET bottles
-
Incentives from government required to overcome inertia at the industry level
-
Need to challenge Australia’s current framework for private investment – compare with China, India, Singapore – free trade zones.
-
Government backing to underwrite bank loans
