Project Abstract
The project will develop methodologies for a novel, fully tailored, biofuel blend production process which optimises theblends and their production design parameters on the basis of a range of targets: performance in engines, real worldemissions on blending with gasoline and diesel, overall sustainability, practical suitability for automotive use, and biofuelproduction costs. The aim is to develop a process design which is able to use a variety of low grade biomass feedstocks,thus contributing to the requirements of the next phase of the EU Renewable Energy Directive (RED) for increased use ofadvanced biofuels.
