which have provided products for non-food applications for a very long time (e.g. cotton or linen for clothing, wood for building, paper and energy, rubber), producing biobased products in huge quantities is a relatively recent trend. A generally accepted priority list for the different applications of biomass has recently been defined, known as the 5 F-cascade: • Food and feed. • Fine and bulk chemicals, pharmaceutical ingredients. • Fibres and biomaterials (wood, pulp and paper). • Fuels and bioenergy. • Fertilizer and soil conditioners (e.g. compost). Although it is crucial to secure a sustainable supply of feedstock for industrial uses, there are concerns about resource availability in the long term: both on the potential of biomass feedstock to deliver sufficient raw material for all future applications (chemicals, biomaterials, bioenergy), as well as on its long term price level. The Nova Institute in Germany estimates that 500 million hectares of land are available world-wide (and this without cutting down forest or using artificial irrigation) to produce biomass in a sustainable way in response to growing food, chemicals, materials and energy needs. Securing a sustainable supply of feedstock for the biobased economy requires further research into methods of improving feedstock yields and/or the composition of biomass for optimal conversion efficiency. This research will involve plant genomics and new breeding programmes, and also research into efficient crop rotation, land management and land-use change issues. In addition feedstocks must be produced according to broadly supported sustainability criteria. Although climate change mitigation is one of the main drivers of industrial biotechnology and the biobased economy, it should not be forgotten that climate change will also impact upon productivity, yields, water and land availability. While yields in forests, for example, might increase in parts of the world such as Northern Europe, the factors destabilising forest ecosystems (insect attacks, changing weather conditions) will have growing impacts. In agriculture, IFPRI11 noted that yields, especially in developing countries, will likely decrease, and South Asia will be especially hard hit. To avoid competition with food, the use of agro-food by-products and wastes should be strongly encouraged. They represent huge amounts of biomass already available and at low costs.

Infinity Supercritical CO2 10 Liter Extractor Design and Worldwide Rights: The Infinity Supercritical 10L CO2 extractor is for botanical oil extraction, which is rich in terpenes and can produce shelf ready full spectrum oil. With over 5 years of development, this industry leader mature extractor machine has been sold since 2015 and is part of many profitable businesses. The process can also be used for electrowinning, e-waste recycling, and lithium battery recycling, gold mining electronic wastes, precious metals. CO2 can also be used in a reverse fuel cell with nafion to make a gas-to-liquids fuel, such as methanol, ethanol and butanol or ethylene. Supercritical CO2 has also been used for treating nafion to make it more effective catalyst. This NFT is for the purchase of worldwide rights which includes the design. More Info
