ADVANTAGES
▪ High surface to volume ratio▪ High product vield per mass
of catalyst▪ Isothermal reaction conditions
by advanced cooling for optimal reaction conditions
▪ In-situ steam generation forheat integration
▪ Short start-up and shut down times
▪ Modular scaleability bynumbering up
CHALLENGES
▪ Innovative process▪ Establishment of serial
production for scaling thebusiness model

MODULARITYCONCEPT
Conc lus ions
> By addressing biofuels we are able to tackle one of the major energy sinks and CO2 emitting sectors in Europe
> Huge demand and potential growth for biofuels in the transport sector
> BtL offers the highest biofuel yield from biomass after CH4
> FT products offer high energy density and existing technologies for distribution and application
> Decentralized approaches are necessary to produce biofuel and we are developing them in COMSYN
