Catalytic decomposition of waste biomass

Description

Waste biomass pyrolysis – Catalysts – Nanofiber membranes – Cleaner biofuels – Hydrogen reuse – Efficient & sustainable process

Sector

A1.6Support activities to agriculture and post-harvest crop activities

Needs/ Problem statement

Current biomass pyrolysis produces low-quality bio-oil and wastes hydrogen, requiring catalysts and membranes to improve fuel quality and process sustainability.

Objective

To develop catalysts and nanofiber membranes that enable efficient pyrolysis of waste biomass, producing higher-quality biofuels and reusing hydrogen to enhance process efficiency and sustainability.
