Webinar: Advanced Biofuels and Biomethanol – From Production, Applications to the End-Us: Agenda Announced! – Fuel UP

Webinar: Advanced Biofuels and Biomethanol – From Production, Applications to the End-Us: Agenda Announced!

Published on October 5, 2026

FUEL-UP, NEXTFUEL, and REFOLUTION projects are joining forces to shed light on the role of advanced biofuels and biomethanol production processes in decarbonising the maritime and aviation sectors. The webinar will present various perspectives on the evolving role of biofuels, their potential applications in “hard-to-abate” transport sectors, and the technological solutions facilitating their integration into existing refining infrastructure.

The discussion will analyse experimental results and technical challenges associated with the co-processing of bio-oils and conventional Vacuum Gas Oil (VGO) in laboratory-scale Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) reactors, focusing on the capacity of existing refining infrastructure to support the integration of bio-based feedstocks and the production of fuels intended for the aviation sector, among others.

The session will also address the growing role of biofuels in decarbonising maritime transport before moving on to the electrified production of methanol from biogas. This latter topic will allow for an examination of the trade-offs between carbon efficiency, hydrogen requirements, and electricity consumption, highlighting the technological aspects involved in developing sustainable and scalable fuel production value chains.
