Session Description
This plenary session presents cutting-edge innovations driving the next generation of liquid biofuels and renewable fuel intermediates. The contributions highlight significant progress across key thermochemical and hybrid conversion pathways, from supercritical water gasification of complex biomass residues to the catalytic upgrading of challenging HTL biocrudes for jet-fuel applications. The session also explores flexible Power-and-Biomass-to-X technologies that integrate reversible solid oxide systems for the production of methanol and other energy carriers, demonstrating how electrification and biomass utilization can be combined within resilient, market-responsive fuel platforms. Together, these plenary presentations offer a comprehensive view of advanced liquid fuel technologies, illustrating both the scientific breakthroughs and system-level innovations shaping the future of sustainable, low-carbon energy.
