BioRen
  • 2G biomass, Advanced fuels, Biofuel, Bulk chemicals, Ethanol, Fuels, Glycerol tertiary butyl ether, H2020-RIA, Industrial sidestreams, Isobutanol, MSW, Municipal solid waste, Ongoing projects, Other feedstock, Paper & cardboard, Process development (TRL 4-5), Product recovery and purification, Scale-up, Scale-up (TRL 4-6), WP leader

The objective of BioRen is to develop competitive drop-in biofuels for road transport from the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW). A higher value fuel is targeted: glycerol tertiary butyl ether (GTBE) is a promising fuel additive to both diesel and gasoline that improves engine performance and cuts harmful exhaust emissions (e.g. fine dust).
