Accelerating the Sustainable Production of Advanced Biofuels and RFNBOs – From Feedstock to End-Use – FUELPHORIA
Advanced biofuels and renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBO) have important societal benefits in terms of GHG reduction (the process of decreasing the emission of greenhouse gases), and fossil fuel replacement. However, concerns are present about the costs and insecurity related to value chains.
The FUELPHORIA project addresses these issues by demonstrating sustainable value chains for advanced biofuels and RFNBOs to be tested in the real environment with active participation of feedstock suppliers and technology providers. A range of chemical, electrochemical, biological, thermochemical, and photobiological processes will be used to convert different feedstocks into an array of renewable fuels. The fuels will be developed to meet quality specifications defined by end-users in the transport sector (aviation, maritime and road) and in the power production sector (gas or oil-fired thermal plants).
Our role in the project
Foodscale Hub is a task leader responsible for co-designing and developing sustainable business models for technologies and products developed within the FUELPHORIA project. As part of this, FSH is:
- Drafting marketing plans for value chain products using a participatory process.
- Co-creating business models for DEMO value chains across Europe.
- Developing a technology business plan that incorporates the viewpoints of technology providers in the project.
- Actively contributing to various tasks, with a focus on value chain exploitation, policy implications, and supporting project coordination, management, and communication and dissemination efforts.
