Enhanced catalytic fast pyrolysis of biomass for high-quality biofuels (EnCat)

The main results of the EraNet-ENCAT project will be presented at this event. The Enhanced Catalytic Pyrolysis (EnCat) project has developed a new concept for the production of high-quality bio-oil from biomass. In this concept the biomass is first pre-treated by washing and then pyrolysed in a reactor making use of deoxygenation catalysts. Simultaneously, CO₂ will be captured with sorbents and via the water-gas-shift reaction in-situ hydrogen will be produced. After cleaning, the oil vapours will be mildly hydrogenated to produce a high-quality bio-oil. The high-quality oil is characterized and used for combustion tests in a gas turbine for combined power and heat generation.
