PEPR project

Accelerated discovery of new catalytic materials for the production of biofuels

Dates:
Start 2023

Project coordinator:
IRCELYON

IMN staff involved:
Romain GAUTIER

The DREAM-BIO project aims to design heterogeneous catalysts that enable fuels to be formed from reagents directly and easily obtained from lignocellulosic biomass (wood and plant waste). The target formulation of these biofuels is that corresponding to current fossil fuels used in air and sea transport, for which substitution by hydrogen or electrical energy is not an option. These biofuels will be made up of kerosenes (80%) and aromatics (20%).
