Project Abstract
Synthetic Biofuels (from wastes and residues) have important role towards net-zero by 2050 pledge by 137-countries at COP26, including Ireland and Vietnam. Synthetic biofuels from non-crop resources should meet 45% total biofuel demand by 2030 against 7% in 2020. Among biochemical and thermochemical technologies, the later found advantageous for higher biofuel production in shorter time, co-produce electricity, flexible feedstocks, application of by-product for industries. The SynergyFuel project aim to develop collaboration between Global North-South for sustainable-strategies to use biofuels in heavy-transport-sector. It�s finding will be used to inform different stakeholders to provide bioenergy circular economy pathway, beneficial to both countries.
