CIRCULAIR: Sustainable Jet Fuels from Manure and Straw
Climate neutrality requires large volumes of sustainable fuels for transport sectors like aviation and shipping, where direct electrification is not viable
CIRCULAIR will
Design
a cost-effective pathway to produce jet fuel, methanol and further by-products from sustainable biomass based on hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL).
Enable
nearly-complete biomass utilization by coupling HTL conversion with green hydrogen generation.
Develop
innovative approaches to upgrade HTL biocrudes to jet fuel and accelerate the approval of HTL fuels for aviation.
Close
a knowledge gap regarding the utilisation of HTL solids for soil amendment and carbon sequestration.
