ERA-WoodWisdom: Liquid fuels from lignin through hydrothermal liquefaction and deoxygenation. Subproject 2: Development and testing of catalysts
Project
Project code: 22005914
Contract period: 01.07.2014
- 30.06.2017
Budget: 120,000 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
Lignin enriched residues from pulping industries and biorefineries are becoming more and more important. Their aromatic character make them ideally suited for use as fuels or platform chemicals. We try to convert lignins in a two-step process. We start with hydrothermal treatment of dissolved lignin from kraft pulping processes (black liquor). In a second hydrocracking step we want to make a product which is can be integrated in conventional fossil refienry streams.
