Hydrothermal Treatment of wastes into SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel)

To demonstrate through hydrothermal & upgrading routes a new innovative value chain for the production of drop-in SAF from wastes derived from both biogenic and urban sources.
It also aims at demonstrating that the concept of decentralized system based on small conversion plants producing high-density bioenergy carrier that can optimize logistic cost for the supply to a central conventional refinery for further, which could improve economical balance compared to other SAF production pathways.
Partners: ITQ-CSIC, Ingelia y BP

Demonstrating the production of HTL-crude through hydrothermal liquefaction in continuous mode at pilot scale (TRL 5) using different types of wastes as feedstock.
Techno-economic and environmental assessments of the value chain using hydrothermal liquefaction.
