Towards sustainable biofuels in the maritime sector

1 – Development of Thermochemical Conversion Process

1 Jan 2018

Contents. In this research line, we aim to design biorefineries based on hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of biomass. Currently, thermochemical conversion is the most competitive route to transform lignocellulosic biomass into drop-in biofuels. Experiments with the...

2 – Development of kinetic thermochemical models

1 Apr 2017

Contents. In this research line, we aim to develop and validate kinetic models for the thermochemical conversion of biomass into drop-in biofuels. We use the data from research line 1 to fit kinetic models of the thermochemical process as well as models for...
