SUPERGEN Bioenergy Hub 1.10 Whole Systems Analysis of Novel Biofuel
Technologies
Objectives
To compare process and techno-economic performance of gasification,
pyrolysis and other routes to biofuels.
Method
A techno-economic spreadsheet-based model for biofuel production based on all thermal
and upgrading technologies will be constructed by Aston. This will be based on a process
synthesis approach that has been developed at Aston for biochemical conversion that
links all steps in a process from feedstock reception to production of a biofuel for either
feeding to a refinery for completion of upgrading, or for blending. The model will provide
flowsheets, mass balances, capital and production costs estimates for gasoline, diesel,
aviation fuel, and “petro”chemicals and will be used to provide data to other partners.
A new technical and economic assessment study is being planned by IEA Bioenergy, and
this model will be valuable both as a basis for a contribution from the UK and also for
additional data and validation from the other members which include USA, Canada,
Finland and Sweden.
Background
Biofuels can be derived
from biomass either by
solid biomass or liquid
bio-oil gasification
followed by biofuel
synthesis; by catalytic fast
pyrolysis; and by
hydrodeoxygenation of
liquid bio-oil. This project
will model different
approaches to biofuel
production.
