Challenge:Bringing biobased economy to Irish Agriculture? IT Tralee | James Gaffey | James.Gaffey@staff.ittralee.ie | +353 (0)66 714 4253 4
1. As biomass supply chain e.g. Novamont, Matrica 5
2. As a Biorefinery Cooperative - Pomacle Bazancourt, France – Co- op Structure IT Tralee | James Gaffey | James.Gaffey@staff.ittralee.ie | +353 (0)66 714 4253 6
3. Farmers as bioprocessors e.g. Courage & Grassa, NL 7

Small Scale Biorefinery Case Study: Grass • >90% of Irish Agricultural Land • Grass 20% DM – Optimal Supply Chain approx 10km 2 • Primary Feedstocks – Fresh grass, silage (determines products) • Supplementary feedstocks – – beet/potato leaves, water plants • Fractionated value >800/ton – 45-90% of the protein in grass can be extracted – > Double usable protein/ha IT Tralee | James Gaffey | James.Gaffey@staff.ittralee.ie | +353 (0)66 714 4253 9
