Abstract

The To-Syn-Fuel project aims to demonstrate a sustainable process able to transform waste biomass such as sewage sludge into renewable liquid fuels. The Thermo-Catalytic Reforming TCR®, which is a technology developed by Fraunhofer UMSICHT, will be implemented in a new process integrated with hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) and pressure swing adsorption (PSA) technologies to convert a wide range of residual biomass into three main products: H₂-rich synthesis gas, biochar and a liquid bio-oil that can be upgraded to green fuels being ready to be used directly in automotive internal combustion engines, as they fulfil EN fuel standards. To-Syn-Fuel is designed to set the benchmark for future sustainable development within Europe, by providing a valuable example of sustainable synthetic fuels and green hydrogen production to the rest of the world, while successfully addressing energy, environmental, economic and social needs.
