Biofuels
Key Points
- Bio-oils and Bio-crudes are energy carriers that can be used as raw material for advanced biofuels
- They need to be upgraded for applications as a (drop-in) transportation fuel
- Upgrading can be via co-processing in existing refineries or by stand-alone operation
- Biofuel applications covers multiple sectors including road, aviation and shipping.
