DEVELOPING ADVANCED BIOREFINERY SCHEMES FOR INTEGRATION INTO EXISTING OIL PRODUCTION/TRANSESTERIFICATION PLANTS.
General objectives
The aim of SUSTOIL is to develop advanced biorefinery schemes to convert whole EU oil-rich crops (rapeseed, olive and sunflower) into energy (fuels, power and heat), food and bioproducts (chemicals and/or materials) making optimal uses of the side streams generated during farming/harvesting, primary processing (e.g. oil extraction and refining) and secondary processing (e.g. transesterification).
Role of the andalusian partner
Several international conferences and meetings.
Impact
Preparation of new projects, some have been already submitted to the FP7.
