Barrel / day Fischer Tropsch
The objective of the COMET project "Barrel / day Fischer Tropsch" is the planning, construction and operation of a plant for the production of Fischer-Tropsch (FT) products (diesel, kerosene and biowaxes from wood) in the scale of one barrel per day of...

FT2Chemicals - Upgrading FT Products for Industry
Synopsis:
Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis is capable to convert renewable syngas (CO and H2) to hydrocarbons and thus, provide commodities like high quality diesel fuel, kerosene and basic chemicals. The synthesis of high molecular hydrocarbons...

FT4Industry - FT bio refinery for industrial applications
Synopsis:
In the last 10 years R&D was focused on the utilization of FT products for the production of advanced biofuels. FT diesel and kerosene are high quality biofuels with excellent combustion behaviour, nearly no soot formation during the...

Heat-to-fuel
Synopsis:
Heat-to-Fuel is a Horizon 2020 EU-funded project carried out by 14 partners from across Europe that aims to deliver the next generation of biofuel production technologies supporting the decarbonisation of the transportation sector. The...

Mixed Alcohols from Biomass Steam Gasification III
In BIOENERGY 2020+ research and development on the synthesis of mixed alcohols is done since 2010. Within the past projects a lab-scale plant was built and operated, where about 1 Nm³/h of synthesis gas was processed. The main investigations were...
Potential of Thermal Steam Biomass Gasification for the production of Hydrogen, SNG, Electricity and District heat
Steam gasification of biomass offers a great potential for polygeneration concepts, which aim at the generation of various products from a single feedstock. The dual fluidized bed biomass steam gasification of biomass generates a N2 free product with...
Reactor optimization by membrane enhanced operation
ROMEO is a European Research and Innovation Project funded by the European Commission. It is developing a new reactor concept using homogeneous catalysis and membrane technology to carry out chemical synthesis and downstream processing in a single...

VergRestWert
Thermal gasification in dual fluidized bed systems is an efficient method to generate electricity and heat from biomass and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. High operating costs due to the utilization of the catalytically active bed material olivine...

Waste2Value
Construction and start-up of a new pilot plant in Vienna, Austria, which will demonstrate the conversion of waste materials into eco-friendly and carbon-neutral fuels. At the site of a hazardous waste incineration plant in the urban area of Vienna,...
