From organic waste to green maritime and aviation fuels.

The aviation and shipping transportation sectors are difficult to electrify. Biofuels with negative CO2 emissions can make a significant contribution to the sustainability of these sectors. This is being investigated at EST in the CARBIOW research project by converting biomass residues into synthesis gas in a fluidized bed and then into biofuels. The fluidized bed is to be operated on a 1 MW pilot scale with pure oxygen and steam and investigated in advance using process simulations. Analysis of the feedstock will help to understand the underlying reactions and kinetics taking place during the gasification process.
