Responsible Research and Innovation in Advanced Biofuel Research Project Refolution

Short Introductive summary

This paper outlines the Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) process and framework applied to the EU-funded technology development project, Refolution studying advanced biofuels in aviation and in marine. The RRI process aims to systematically consider the sustainability aspects of the project, ensuring its results are comprehensible and applicable to stakeholders and society at large. By fostering communication and interaction with stakeholders, including citizens, the RRI process seeks to understand the social implications of the research and ensure the social acceptability of the outcomes, such as a new biofuel and its production processes. Additionally, the RRI approach supports the development of a sustainable business based on these results.
