The projects devides into six subprojects, four of which are dedicated to the optimisation, analysis of the fuel production process and production routes for biofuels from lignocellulosic feedstock. A comparative assessment of the process routes performed by experts in Life Cycle Analysis will lead to suggestions for future pathways. Knowledge generated and results will be disseminated by special training activities. |
|
Subproject 1 Product optimization of BTL production SP1 focuses on the production, production development, analysis and test of
BTL fuels from lignocellulosic biomass by the Choren CARBO V® gasification
process with Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis and subsequent refinery steps. |
|
 |
Subproject 2 SP2 concentrates its research activities on optimization of three gasification
routes (autothermal fluidized bed, pressurized entrained flow gasification and
circulating fluidized bed) and catalysts for Fischer Tropsch synthesis. |
 |
||||
Subproject 3 SP3 investigates the full technical and commercial impact of DME/methanol
production from Black Liquor at a pulp mill located in Mörrum, Sweden. The
engineering will both address technical plant features in syngas handling and
conversion as well as fuel logistics, handling and trading for both DME and methanol. |
 |
||||
Subproject 4 SP4 focuses on research and development for the optimization of the thermochemical
production pathways for ethanol from lignocellulosic biomass and the supply of
data for the enzymatic pathway of ethanol production. |
 |
||||
Subproject 5 SP5 included the analysis of the biomass potential in Europe, the life cycle
assessment from well to tank, technical and economic assessment of available
production routes for BTL fuels from ligno-cellulosic biomass. |
 |
||||
Subproject 6 SP6 will transfer results from the project, provide training by means of a
summer school and web based training courses and implements a concept which favors
gender mainstreaming. |
