EU project HyFlexFuel converted sewage sludge and other biomasses into kerosene by hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL); SAF

Green Car Congress

HTL has several key-advantages, of which the most important are: Flexible production potential: The HTL conversion technology taps into a huge global bio-resource with local variety of primary biomasses. Under these conditions, biomass is converted into a crude bio-oil, which is separated from the process water behind the reactor.
