Large-scale production of liquid advanced biofuels and renewable fuels of non-biological origin
Funds first-of-a-kind, full-scale plants that produce advanced biofuels or renewable fuels of non-biological origin at commercial scale.
This Research and Innovation Action from the European Commission funds first-of-a-kind, full-scale plants that produce advanced biofuels or renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBOs) at commercial scale, aimed at sectors like aviation, shipping and heavy industry that have few other decarbonisation options. Funding does not simply follow the ranking order: the Commission guarantees an award…
The Commission wants demonstrations of large-scale production plants for liquid advanced biofuels and/or renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBOs), aimed at sectors like aviation, shipping and heavy industry that have few other decarbonisation options. It wants real-size feedstocks and a credible path to a full commercial plant, not lab-scale work.
