Opportunities and Limitations to the Scale-up of Sustainable Biofuels via Biotheros Thermochemical Biomass Conversion Technologies
Short Introductive summary
The ever-increasing environmental pollution alongside the depletion of natural resources have aroused significant interest in the deployment of alternative, green fuels and associated technologies that have the potential to contribute considerably to the decarbonization of major sectors of economy at both an international and a European level. The transport sector in Europe faces the most serious challenge in achieving the ambitious climate neutrality targets by the year 2050, given its notable upward trend in Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions during the last two decades. Sustainable biofuels are perceived by transport sector’s representatives and industries as a key decarbonization instrument. Motivated by the necessity to substantially increase the levels of renewable energies in transportation, in conjunction with the attractive characteristics of biofuels over conventional fossil fuels and the desire to scale-up non-food/feed lignocellulosic biomass conversion routes, the present research effort aims to promote the expansion of sustainable jet and marine biofuels through the development of sustainable and cost-effective thermochemical biomass conversion technologies.
