HyFlexFuel: Advanced biofuel production via hydrothermal liquefaction of various organic feedstocks

The European research project HyFlexFuel develops hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL), an advanced biofuel technology that can convert a great variety of organic feedstock into liquid transportation fuels. The HyFlexFuel project has demonstrated the HTL conversion of lignocellulosic energy-crops, microalgae, residues like wheat straw, corn stover or pine sawdust, as well as wet waste streams such as sewage sludge, into energy-rich biocrude oils.
This video explains the HTL conversion of sewage sludge to biocrude in a pilot-scale HTL reactor of Aarhus University in Foulum, Denmark. This intermediate biocrude is subsequently upgraded to a mixture of transportation fuels via catalytic hydrotreatment at Aalborg University, also in Denmark. The results of the HyFlexFuel project will provide the knowledge base for sustainable and economically competitive biofuel production in future HTL plants.
More information on the HyFlexFuel project and on the role of the further project partners - Paul Scherrer Institut (Switzerland), University of Hohenheim, Bauhaus Luftfahrt, Deutsches Biomasseforschungszentrum (DBFZ, all Germany), Haldor Topsoe (Denmark), Organic Waste Systems (OWS, Belgium), Eni (Italy), and ARTTIC (France) - can be retrieved from www.hyflexfuel.eu.

You're doing a great job

[@dipanshurathore4287]

Good job by companies

[@paulwiliam247]

Oil ends by about 2070 this will save us for sure!.

[@yanikivanov]

Wow...seems a future tecnology....

[@dipanshurathore4287]

Latest technology

[@angelaceja3714]

Does HTL have any envrionemntal impacts?

[@WilliamPerez587]

What is the energy balance ? there is energy earn?

[@mainairungu3890]

I guess it's as strong as fossil fuels.

[@Terrr05]

I don't understand how this is helpful. Won't these fuels release the same hydrocarbons that kerosine and diesel etc are currently releasing?
If I understand correctly, the benefit of these projects is to enable us to produce our own fossil fuel energy rather than being reliant on natural reserves overseas?

[@BayaniMagtanggol]

it's carbon neutral
