Objective
The aim of BIOCOUP is to develop a chain of process steps, to allow biomass feedstock to be effectively co-fed to a conventional oil refinery.Energy and oxygenated chemicals will be co-produced.The overall innovation derives from integration of bio-feedstock procurement with existing industries and processing of upgraded biomass forms in existing mineral oil refineries.It will allow a seamless integration of bio-refinery co-processing products to the end consumer for products like transport fuels and chemicals,and provide an important stimulus to biomass acceptance and technological development of biomass production routes. The objectives of the 6 subprojects, are: 1.Biomass liquefaction and energy production: to reduce bio-oil production costs 2.Upgrading technologies: to develop de-oxygenation technology and scale it up to process development unit-scale 3.Evaluation of upgraded bio-liquids in standard refinery units :assess the viability of upgraded bio-liquids co-processing in a standard refinery 4.Conversion to chemicals :identify optimal recovery and fractionation strategies and technologies for the production of discrete target compounds 5.Scenario and life cycle analysis :outline a low-risk,low-cost development path for the most promising bio refinery chains 6.Transversal activities :optimise the impact of the project by a structured management and the coordination of the standardisation,exploitation & dissemination activities. To achieve these goals the consortium established includes: - Industrial companies and an R&D company with strong competency in the processing industry sector, - European Research centres & universities in the field of biomass - One research centre from Russia
