Biomass conversion to intermediate bioenergy carriers and sustainable biofuels
Mechanical Catalytic Conversion (MECC): A Novel Process for the Conversion of Solid Biomass and Waste Oil Into Drop-in Liquid Transport Fuels and other By-products with Decarbonisation Potential
Short Introductive summary
The offsetting of global fossil fuel use with biofuels and recycled carbon fuels has been hampered by a lack of scalable and cost-effective solutions for their production. In this talk we will introduce a novel mechanical catalytic conversion (MECC) process for the conversion of waste solid biomass and waste oil into a range of products with decarbonisation potential, including a drop-in diesel fuel replacement. The process differs from existing methods used for the thermal decomposition of biomass and is currently operating at demo plant scale. Additional products, including a biocharcoal, are being produced in sufficient quantities for use in research and development with partners.
