To succeed in the transformation towards a sustainable and fossil-free society, there is a growing demand for sustainable bio-based materials and new technologies are also required. Sekab is planning to upgrade and commercialize biotechnology solutions geared towards the production of sustainable biofuels and green chemical products.
Sekab’s CelluAPP platform is developed to process biomass into new bio-based raw materials such as cellulosic sugars, ethanol, and lignin which in turn can be used for several end products such as biofuels, asphalt binders, and pharmaceuticals.
We see AFRY as a valuable partner based on their deep and broad expertise in the bio-based industry and other industrial sectors, while we feel secure with AFRY’s local presence and global strength. AFRY’s industrial and process technology expertise and their external perspective to our internal development work ensure that we can work in an efficient and quality-assured way in close cooperation and dialogue, said Dr Monica Normark, Chief Technology Officer at Sekab.
The assignment includes project management services and process, piping, mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, automation, and building engineering as part of an ongoing feasibility study and permit application process.
In addition, AFRY is providing sustainability analysis and environmental services as well as resources for project owners. The start of the pre-engineering phase is expected to take place in late 2021.
We are honored that Sekab has chosen us as a partner when they now move forward with the goal of scaling up and industrializing their own developed technology. We look forward to contributing to Sekab’s development for a more sustainable industry, said Lisa Vedin, Head of Process Industries Sweden at AFRY.
