Reliable bio-based refinery intermediates - BioMates

Co-feeding lignocellulosic-biomass-derived intermediates into conventional refineries is a promising option to decarbonise automotive, aviation and bunker fuels and to reduce import-dependence of mobility. Of course, this strictly requires compatibility of bio-based intermediates with the refining process and especially consistency of the intermediates' properties. The ultimate goal of this approach is the production of fuels of high-quality abiding by the standards, with no intermediate-caused off-spec batches lowering the refineries' yields.
