Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:
- Expand the technology portfolio for ready to pre-commercial plant investments in advanced biofuel technologies for aviation and /or shipping.
- Support de-risking the technology, boost scale-up of advanced biofuels for aviation and /or shipping and contribute to their market up-take.
- Respond to short- and medium-term needs for renewable fuels in aviation and /or shipping.
- Support better integration of advanced biofuel technologies in aviation and /or shipping.
Demonstration of technological pathways for the production of liquid jet-drop-in and/or liquid bunker drop-in advanced biofuels with reduced cost and GHG emissions from biogenic residues and wastes including CO2 or microalgae (including cyanobacteria) through chemical, biochemical, biological and thermochemical pathways, or a combination of them.
A reduced cost or at least cost parity with existing biofuels for use in aviation and/or shipping is expected, as for example the hydro processed esters and fatty acids (HEFA) for aviation and the biodiesel for shipping. Proposals should provide information and assessment about the economic feasibility and the potential of scaling-up the technology at commercial scale as appropriate. The exploitation plans should include preliminary feasibility study and business plan also indicating the possible funding sources to be potentially used (such as private equity, the InvestEU, the EU Catalyst Partnership and the Innovation Fund).
GHG reduction from fossil equivalents above the state of the art should be shown.
The sustainability and GHG reduction should be addressed on a life-cycle assessment basis.
Specific Topic Conditions:Activities are expected to achieve TRL 6-7 by the end of the project – see General Annex B.
