Research

On going project : Biomass to Aviation Fuels (B2A, KPN project)

Project summary: Biofuels are the only real option to achieve significant reductions in aviation emissions. However, the main challenges remaining for large scale application of biofuels in the aviation sector are the cost- and feedstock supply. The B2A project aims to develop new processes based on catalytic fast hydropyrolysis technology for synthesis of the next generation of sustainable fuels for aviation from lignocellulosic biomass to increase the competitiveness compared to fossil fuel alternatives.

Projects in initiation phase:

• Plastic wastes to hydrogen
• Chemical Recycling of Plastic (CaRePlast)
• Wastes Biomass to biocarbon and hydrogen
