EU & Latin America
� Share common needs and threats:�the increasing reliance on imported diesel fuels �annual increases in quantities of organic wastes.
� DIBANET is developing technologies to help towards eliminating the need for fossil diesel imports in either region,improving the security of energy supply.
� DIBANET is advancing the art in the production of ethyl-levulinate from organic wastes and residues.
� Ethyl levulinate (EL) is a novel diesel miscible biofuel (DMB) produced by esterifying ethanol with levulinic acid.

5 Key Scientific Objectives
1. Optimise the yields of levulinic acid (and co-products), from the conversion of biomass, while minimising chemical/energy requirements. Levulinic acid is a platform chemical for the production of a Diesel Miscible Biofuel (DMB).
2. Improve the energy balance of the production of levulinic acid and the total biofuel yields possible from a feedstock by sustainably utilising the residues in pyrolysis processes to produce a bio-oil that will be upgraded to a (DMB).

5 Key Scientific Objectives Cont’d
3. Reduce the energy and chemical costs involved in producing ethyl-levulinate from levulinic acid and ethanol.
4. Select key biomass feedstocks for conversion to levulinic acid, analyse these, and develop rapid analytical methods that can be used in an online process.
5. Analyse the DMBs produced for their compliance to EN590 requirements and, if non-compliant, suggest means to achieve compliance.

Enhancing international cooperation
Four Co-Operation Objectives:1. Develop a tightly-integrated online network of key
players in the EU and LA2. Organise public meetings/forums between key
stakeholders from both regions3. Train PhD and post-doctoral researchers from the
opposite region 4. Develop an inter-regional Technology Transfer
Business Plan for the most effective exploitation of the DIBANET technologies. This will consider the combined needs of the EU & LA & the potential for trade.

WP5 – Assessment of DMBs and their Potential
� This involves the analysis of the DMBs produced in WPs3 and 4.
� YPF play a key role in determining how DIBANET DMBscomply with EN590 requirements & how fuel performance can be improved.
� 2020 without DIBANET sees a greater level of biodegradable waste going to landfill in both the EU & LA while the cost of large amounts of diesel imports drains both nations of cash.
� With the DIBANET process both nations are predicted to reduce the amount of biodegradable waste going to landfill by utilising it as a feedstock for the production of DMBs.
