DETAILS
Biochemtex and Beta Renewables
announce they have signed a definitive agreement with
ENERGOCHEMICA SE
for the construction of a 2nd Generation Ethanol plant
and the annexed Energy Block for
the generation of power and steam.
The plant, that will be built in Strazske, Slovak Republic ,
will deliver 55,000 metric tons per year of
cost-competitive cellulosic ethanol
while using non-food biomass as its feedstock.
The project begins immediately and
the start-up of the plant
is expected in the first half of 2017.
The plant will apply Beta’s PROESA™ technology.
Biochemtex will provide basic engineering,
key equipment and technical field services.
Guido Ghisolfi,
CEO and President of Beta Renewables and Biochemtex
“We look at our deal with ENERGOCHEMICA SE
as an important step to develop
second- generation bioethanol activities in Europe,”
“We believe that PROESA™ technology
will let producers see superior returns on their investments,
while meeting the EU targets of 10% renewable energy
in transport by 2020.
The Strazske plant will be the third in the world
based on PROESA™ technology, following
1. Crescentino, Italy, and
2. Alagoas, Brazil.”
The plant will use
* enzymes from Novozymes and
* yeast from Leaf Technologies.

Novozymes and Leaf Technologies are long-term partners of
Beta Renewables and their role is crucial for
The Energy Block, by using the lignin produced
as a by-product of the PROESA™ technology,
will generate all power and steam necessary
to the plant and will sell the additional energy to the grid.
