WP4 focuses on the upgrading of FT products into biofuel components, mainly diesel and gasoline. The target is to utilize all liquid and solid fractions from the FT synthesis in various oil refinery processes. The processing of all fractions derived from the bio-crude is complex and requires several processing steps. Read More
Unipetrol Center for Research and Education (UniCRE) was awarded by the project of the year in the 13th PETROLawards competition. Within this competition, significant achievements in the field of production and distribution of fuels and petrol stations in the Czech Republic and Slovakia are selected. UniCRE succeeded with its project… Read More
Production of biofuel by gasification of biomass residues was successfully validated in the EU’s COMSYN project in September. The process performance was verified with bark in an 80 hour-long test run at VTT. The syngas conversion to Fischer-Tropsch (FT) products was conducted by IneraTec GmbH. The main focus of the… Read More
Crushed bark is gasified in a fluidized-bed gasifier operated with steam as the main gasification agent. The raw gas is at first filtered with innovative metal filters of GKN and then tars and light hydrocarbon gases are reformed using the staged reformer concept of VTT. After… Read More
UniCRE, the Unipetrol Centre of Research and Education, held the 2nd thematic COMSYN workshop on May 23 – 24, 2019 in Prague and Litvinov, Czech Republic. The workshop gathered biofuel experts and members of press for the discussions on the Future of BTL Products in Europe. The workshop began in… Read More
The second COMSYN workshop, Future of BTL Products in Europe, is currently on-going in Prague and Litvínov, Czech Republic. As the highlight of the first workshop day, the first batch of synthetic diesel from the COMSYN project was tested in a car show. The crude synthetic fuel was produced by… Read More
On the 18th and 19th of April 2018 the first thematic COMSYN Workshop has been held with the main topic “2nd Generation Biofuels”. 56 biofuels experts and interested scientists from all over Europe conducted intense discussions about the opportunities as well as the challenges of the production of alternative fuels.

EU-funded project COMSYN aims to develop a production concept for competitive bio-based fuels by means of a compact gasification and synthesis process. The target reduction of the biofuel production cost is up to 35% compared to alternative routes, which translates to less than 0.80 €/l production cost for diesel. The… Read More
