The Bio-MeGaFuel project has been launched to pioneer a novel technology for producing sustainable biomethanol from low-value biogenic residues and waste with net zero emissions. By combining chemical looping gasification with membrane reactors, the project aims to lower production costs, reduce downstream treatments, and reach Technology Readiness Level 5 by 2028, while integrating synergies with renewable hydrogen. This development is expected to enable large-scale, affordable biomethanol production for hard-to-abate sectors such as aviation, marine transport, and fuel cells.
The Flexby project is an EU funded project under the topic HORIZON-CL5-2023-D3-02-07 – Development of next generation advanced biofuel technologies. Flexby addresses the critical need for sustainable energy solutions by converting waste materials into valuable biofuels. These biofuels will then be utilised to generate electricity in fuel cells. Industrial waste feedstocks and microalgae cultivated in domestic wastewater will undergo microwave-assisted pyrolysis to produce three distinct fractions: solid, liquid, and gas. The Flexby project will develop several innovative concepts to advance the technology level of advanced biofuel production.
