Abstract:
New generation biofuels are expected to overcome the problems of 1st generation biofuels, such as food competition, potential limitations and admixture limitations. The chemical answer could be liquid hydrocarbons (LHC) based on high potential sustainable resources. LHC are able to reach drop in quality for all kinds of fuels used in the mobility sector. The demand is expected to increase continuously. Some transport sectors such as aviation, heavy trucks and maritime shipping have even no alternative for LHC fuels. The sustainable biomass potential could cover the future biofuel demand if the fuel demand is limited. The integrated German technology approach as bundled in the ProcessNet initiative of DECHEMA and VDI-GVC could prepare suitable cross-linked pathways for the conversion of biomass and waste into LHC drop in biofuels. In the light of increasing biofuel demand and quality requirements research and development activities should be enhanced in this field.
