Biomass conversion to intermediate bioenergy carriers and sustainable biofuels

Jet Fuel Molecules from Furanics: The Challenges and the Opportunities

Short Introductive summary

The aviation sector is in great need of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) alternatives to reduce its high contribution to carbon emissions. Increasing SAF availability specially in the context of available and evolving second generation biomass biorefineries is of essence to support these ambitious targets. The H2020 HIGFLY project aims to develop a new generation of technologies for the production of sustainable aviation fuels from abundant and sustainable biomass feedstocks. For this, HIGFLY relies on the use of biobased oxygenates derived from hemicellulose carbohydrates to develop a synergetic platform for biomass valorisation to fuels and chemicals. In our contribution, we will highlight validation activities performed in the framework of the project, what key performance parameters contribute the most to the process footprint and what will be key process developments for future scale up and implementation.
