SP1 : Primary fractionation and liquefaction // SP leader: VTT |
Objectives : In order to reduce the costs of primary bio-oils, an innovative integrated bio-oil concept will be developed in this SP, from a number of viable biomass feed stocks. These oils will be used in subsequent de-oxygenation processes.
The target is to reduce the costs of primary bio-oils up to 30 %, through an innovative integrated bio-oil concept from a number of biomass feedstocks (initially especially residues from forestry industries).
The work-programme also aims at achieving the following specific objectives:
To generate experimental data
To produce uniform quality bio-oils
To further the development of methods to fractionate black liquor and to convert certain fractions into bio-refinery feedstocks.
