 BioTfueL objectives NEW ENERGIES

Develop, demonstrate and commercialize a full BTL chain

 flexible to the widest range of feedstock (bio & fossil)
 reliable (SF = 8000 h/yr for industrial application)
 delivering superior drop-in fuels (lowering diesel vehicles particles emissions)
 economically and environmentally competitive

Complete integration of the various processes and utilities of the BTL process chain
 Typical Process Book for an industrial plant (200 kt/yr of liquid products)

Validation of the sustainability criteria

 Life Cycle Analyses
