The G2 Technology
Up to now the only successful large scale production route of “green” hydrocarbons as drop-in fuels is via the hydrogenation of triglycerides (vegetable oils) and fatty acid wastes via processes like NESTE’s NExBTL process. However the volume and supply of triglycerides and fatty acid wastes is rather limited and so the real challenge is to convert larger waste streams such as bagasse, sugar cane straw, palm waste and/or wood wastes. New developments in BIOeCON’s biomass solvent conversion technology called BIOeCON G2 Technology now open up new opportunities to do this.
