Developing advanced Biorefinery schemes for integration into existing oil production/transesterification plants (SUSTOIL)

Start date: Jun 1, 2008, End date: May 31, 2010,

"An ambitious and achievable vision for 2030 is that up to 25% of the EU’s transport fuel needs could be meet by clean and CO2-efficient biofuel. To achieve this, it will be necessary to promote the transition towards “second generation biofuels” (e.g. lignocellulosic ethanol, syngas gas based fuels, pyrolysis oil based biofuels) but also support the implementation of currently available biofuels ...
