COMBIO Project: Biomass to Liquid fuels for Heating

PROJECT OVERVIEW

The aim of the project was to verify a new liquid biofuel chain for heat production, to determine fuel specifications for pyrolysis oil (PO) in different applications and to carry out long term combustion tests. Scientific objectives included modification of PO composition for improved stability by hot gas filtration and production of emulsions and cleaner combustion by increased understanding of fundamental phenomena through single droplet experiments.

It is estimated that implementation of liquid biofuel, RES and CHP directives, CO2 decreasing objectives and certificate trade will generate many attractive markets for biofuels. The objectives of the project were compatible, for example, with the above mentioned EU directives, objectives of EU
