Project description
New methods for biomass valorisation
Biomass presents a promising solution for Europe’s energy transition and climate goals. However, its utilisation faces several significant challenges. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the CIRCULAR FUELS project will tackle challenges associated with biomass utilisation by researching and developing innovative methods for sorting and recycling biowaste into value-added chemicals and materials through various pathways. This initiative will later expand to include a broader range of biomass species by integrating process simulation and machine learning techniques. The project will emphasise knowledge transfer and networking among the University of Seville, two Spanish companies, the Polytechnic University of Milan, the University of Hohenheim, Queen’s University Belfast, and a UK-based company.
Objective
The project CIRCULAR-FUEL is an integrated 4-year program focused on knowledge transfer and networking among seven partners. These include one Spanish university, the University of Sevilla (UoS); two Spanish companies, GREENE ENTERPRISE S.L (GreenE). and Vortico; one Italian university, the Polytechnic University of Milan (PoliMi); one German university, the University of Hohenheim (UHOH); one UK university, the Queen’s University Belfast (QUB); and one UK company, GreenX Technology Ltd (GreenX). The project will directly address biomass utilization challenges by researching and developing innovative approaches for sorting and recycling biowaste into value-added chemicals and materials through several pathways. This effort will subsequently expand to encompass a wider range of biomass species by incorporating process simulation and machine learning.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
