Upgrading of FT products into biofuel components

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
