Organic waste gives wings to sustainable aviation
The EU-funded BIOCTANE project aims to develop and optimise an innovative process for converting organic waste materials containing high amounts of water (e.g. food waste and organic material waste from the food processing industry) into carbon-neutral, market-ready drop-in jet-fuels. Combining biotechnology and hydrothermal gasification, researchers will convert complex organic waste into platform molecules. A novel one-pot synthesis process will be developed to convert these molecules to hydrocarbon molecules (jet fuel). BIOCTANE will offer a pathway to sustainable, secure and competitive renewable energy technologies in Europe, boosting the use of advanced biofuels especially in the aviation sector.
