The objective of SEAFAIRER is to demonstrate the production of improved intermediate biofuels, targeting the decarbonisation of maritime shipping, using an innovative thermochemical conversion process, developed and patented by Fraunhofer.
Scalable solutions optimisation and decision tool creation for low impact SAF production chain from lipid-rich microalgae strain is a Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Action project that will contribute to support third generation biofuels growth.
The overall goal of the POSEIDON project is to prepare the implementation of local value chains based on e-methanol as fuel for shipping in the ports of Valencia and Thessaloniki.
FUEL-UP – Production of advanced biofuels via pyrolysis and upgrading of 100% biogenic residues for aviation and marine sector, including full valorisation of side streams – is a Horizon Europe Innovation Action aimed at transforming biogenic waste into advanced biofuels to enable the green transition and the decarbonisation of the aviation and the marine transport sectors.
The NextFuel project aims to pilot a novel approach to producing methanol, never before piloted beyond our project partners lab scale prototype, where we use an electrically heated stream methane reformer (eSMR) instead of present firing of natural gas in the fired reformer. The eSMR technology allows very compact reactor designs, up to 100 times smaller than current SMR plants, which combined with higher energy efficiency and no directly associated CO2 emission, makes the eSMR reactor extremely commercially attractive for synthesis gas production. The technology is also well suited to add additional hydrogen and CO2 to increase production.
