CIRCULAIR Summer School in Denmark

CIRCULAIR First Summer School

The CIRCULAIR Summer School took place from Monday 16 September to Wednesday 18 September 2024 at the Department of Energy of the Aalborg University in Aalborg East, Denmark, and gathered 34 participants from 9 countries.

The summer school was addressed to Ph.D. students, researchers and professionals in the field of biofuels production, and particularly sustainable aviation fuels. The CIRCULAIR Summer School introduced to the fundamentals of HTL, discussed the latest advancement in sustainable aviation fuel production from HTL and the requirements towards its commercialization. Furthermore, it addressed innovative technologies to valorize HTL side streams (gases, aqueous phase and solid char), and involved commercial partners in the field.

During the 3-day Summer School, senior scientists, industry partners, and guest speakers contributed lectures on all important aspects of the CIRCULAIR project implementation and related focus topics. A comprehensive program of technical visits, including Aalborg University labs and a tour to Aarhus University HTL pilot plant (in Foulum), provided concrete examples on how the biomass to jet-fuel conversion via HTL can be physically established.
