Development of next generation advanced biofuel technologies
European Comission
ExpectedOutcome :
Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:
- Increase availability of disruptive emerging advanced biofuel technologies.
- Accelerate the readiness of cost-effective and highly performing future technologies of advanced biofuels for all economy sectors.
- Reinforce the European scientific basis and European technology export potential for advanced biofuel technologies. Scope :
Development of next generation technologies for the production of novel advanced liquid and gaseous biofuels from biogenic residues and wastes including CO2 and organic part of wastewater or micro-algae (including cyanobacteria), through chemical, electrochemical, biochemical, biological and thermochemical pathways, or a combination of them. Focus should be on the high conversion efficiency and the low to near-zero carbon emissions from the overall production. Overall, proposals are expected to improve competitiveness and minimize GHG emissions through synergies with renewable hydrogen and other renewable energy technologies for processing energy. The new technologies should also address specifically uses in fuel cells for all transport modes for electricity generation from biofuels used as renewable energy carriers with high conversion efficiency and low pollution. The sustainability and GHG emissions should be assessed by an LCA and ways along the value chain to reduce them to and below net zero should be developed.
