Sustainability and lifecycle assessment of pyrolysis oil production and application
Sustainability assessment Sustainability means that the needs of the present generation are met without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The concept of sustainability is made tangible by definition of sustainability principles, criteria and measurable … Continue reading

Deborah Schönegger successfully defended her master thesis entitled “Phosphorous fertilising potential of fly ashes and effects on soil microbiota and crop” within the framework of our Residue2Heat project under the supervision of Prof. Heribert Insam, Dr. Marina Fernández-Delgado Juárez and … Continue reading
FPBO production from biomass residues
Research activities are ongoing at BTG aiming to produce a standardised quality FPBO from residual (high ash) biomass materials. In recent months, miscanthus and bark biomass materials have been converted to FPBO. The influence of the pyrolysis process conditions on … Continue reading
New PhD project on the evaporation and combustion of droplets using a 2D geometry
Our project partner Politecnico di Milano has recently started a PhD project whose aim is to investigate the evaporation and combustion processes of droplets under the effect of external forces (i.e. gravity) and convective flows, with a 2-D/3-D model. In … Continue reading
