The partners cover the whole value chain from waste management and pre-treatment, through subsequent transformation of waste to bio-liquids and intermediate refining processes within existing refineries to testing of the produced biofuels in engine and vehicle for road transport.
WASTE2ROAD will:
- develop a representative and cost-effective waste supply and management system to reduce and optimise the supply costs while diversifying the (biomass) feedstock basis (in EU perspective)
- develop new biofuels production technology while increasing understanding and control of the whole value chain (including an economic assessment)
- scale up materials and testing procedures to define scenarios for the best exploitation through implementation of process schemes in existing refineries (achieving pilot-scale tests at TRL 5)
- develop solutions to answer key societal & environmental challenges connected with implementation of the proposed technology
SINTEF is the coordinator of the project.
Partners: SINTEF, CNRS, BTG, VTT, PDC, BTL, TUW, OMV, CEA, EGE, CRF
The WASTE2ROAD project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under Grant Agreement No. 818120.
