SCOPE

The FLEXI–GREEN FUELS project aims to create a very flexible integrated biofuels process capable of treating multiple types of waste biomass and produce a range of marketable shipping and aviation drop-in biofuel products and valuable side-products

TECHNOLOGIES

OBJECTIVES

  • Innovative, economical and sustainable shipping and aviation biofuels process, which produces several fuels from 100% renewable and sustainable resources, thereby resulting in significant GHG emission reduction potential. 
  • Production of next generation liquid biofuels by developing and improving technologies for a complete conversion of two distinct types of biogenic waste resources (lignocellulosic biomass and the organic fraction of municipal waste). The process co-produces two types of aviation fuel and one type of shipping fuel, with multiple process synergies and on-site production of bio-hydrogen.
  • Showcase the integrated process with full TEA, LCA, and business plan. We will show how the FLEXI-GREEN FUELS processes can later be integrated and implemented most beneficial in existing sites, production sites and /or grass roots. In the FLEXI-GREEN FUELS project, we will show profitable liquid biofuel processes with great flexibility and many possible options for implementation.

Role & Involvement of AUTH

Main Role in WP5

  • Catalytic hydrogenation/deoxygenation and alkylation of light lignin bio-oil fractions to C7-C9/C9-C18 cyclo-alkanes.

 

  • Catalytic hydrotreatment of heavier lignin bio-oil fractions and lipids and co-processing with petroleum fractions.

 

  • Catalytic conversion of hemicellulose sugars to jet fuel alkanes.

 

  • Providing data and knowhow for process optimization and technoeconomical analysis
