Integrated biorefineries - biorefinery processes
Pilot Biorefinery for Bio-Based Products and Biofuels from Phytoremediation Energy Crops.
Short Introductive summary
The H2020 project Phy2Climate addresses this issue by an innovative approach based on phytoremediation and biomass conversion. It builds a bridge between the phytoremediation of contaminated sites with the production of clean drop-in biofuels based on a biorefinery concept. Phytoremediation employs specific varieties of crops to clean up contaminated soil. Its effectiveness depends on the crops ability to absorb, transfer, stabilize, concentrate and/or degrade contaminants. The biorefinery is the key technology in Phy2Climate and is used for the conversion of phytoremediation biomass from the pilot sites in valuable biofuels (marine fuels according to ISO 8217, gasoline according to EN 228 and diesel according to EN 590) and bio-coke for the substitution of petroleum coke in the copper smelting process (metallurgical industry). Phy2Climate will develop legal expertise in order to allow for a smooth realization of the overall project and inform future policy-making in the EU and elsewhere. The Phy2Climate approach also aims at becoming an environmental impact role model by combining different complementing processes with a positive environmental effect, and the social acceptance.
