Competitiveness, energy security and integration aspects of advanced biofuels and renewable fuels of non-biological origin value chains

Funds analysis of how to make Europe's advanced biofuel and renewable-fuel supply chains more secure and competitive.

ClosedEuropean CommissionEU

This Research and Innovation Action from the European Commission funds analysis of how to make Europe's advanced-biofuel and renewable-fuel-of-non-biological-origin supply chains more secure and competitive, from feedstock supply through fuel production. Activities may start at any Technology Readiness Level and are expected to reach TRL 5 by the end of the project. The topic's EUR 8,000,000 total…

The Commission wants research that maps and models the energy-security and industrial-competitiveness challenges across advanced biofuel and renewable-fuel-of-non-biological-origin value chains, from feedstock supply through fuel production, and proposes ways to integrate and de-risk them.
