NextGenRoadFuels is a Horizon 2020 project to develop a competitive European technology platform for sustainable liquid fuel production.
The project will prove the Hydrothermal Liquefaction pathway (HTL) as an efficient route to produce high-volume, cost-competitive, drop-in synthetic gasoline and diesel fuels, as well as other hydrocarbon compounds.
Final Project Publication!
Four years of research and pilot trials carried out by the NextGenRoadFuels project has led to numerous findings in the field of hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL), not only as an efficient route to produce drop-in synthetic fuels, but also as a core technology for urban waste valorisation.
This final project publication summaries and presents the key findings from each aspect of the research:
- Improving the HTL value chain from the start.
- HTL as core technology for urban waste valorisation.
- Turning challenging waste-derived biocrude into fuels.
- The market situation for HTL.
- Environmental assessment, sustainability and economics.
- The future for HTL.
