Welcome to the BIOCOUP project

0 0 000000Co-processing of upgraded bio-liquids in standard refinery units

The BIOCOUP project is supported by the European Commission through the Sixth Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development.

The aim of BIOCOUP is to develop a chain of process steps, which would allow biomass feedstock to be co-fed to a conventional oil refinery. Energy and oxygenated chemicals will be co-produced. The overall innovation derives from integration of bio-feedstock procurement with existing industries (energy, pulp and paper, food) and processing of upgraded biomass forms in existing mineral oil refineries.
