Biogenic residues will be gasified, and the syngas will be fermented to produce bio-based triacylglycerides (TAGs). At the end of the project at least <strong>two barrels of Hydrotreated TAGs will be produced as next generation aviation and marine biofuels.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>By <strong>exploiting the<\/strong> <strong>synergies between biological and thermochemical technologies<\/strong>, BioSFerA will achieve a <strong>total carbon utilization above 35%<\/strong> and a <strong>minimum selling price &lt;0.7-0.8 \u20ac\/l.<\/strong> BioSFerA aims to evolve the proposed technology from TRL3 to TRL5. In the TRL3 phase, <strong>extensive lab-scale tests<\/strong> will take place in order to <strong>optimize the process and increase its feedstock flexibility in terms of non-food biobased blends.<\/strong> Then, building upon lab tests, the <strong>pilot-scale runs<\/strong> (TRL5) will investigate the overall process.<\/p>\n<p>In the framework of BioSFerA project the hydrocarbons compatibility with aviation and marine standards for drop-in fuels will also be verified. Techno-economic, market, environmental, social and health and safety risk assessments will be performed on the overall BioSFerA process and, together with a process model, allow to achieve a realistic scaling-up scenario. This will allow to develop a cost-effective and versatile value chain with favourable condition for profitable investments around Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Biosfera <strong>international consortium<\/strong>

yeasts.<br \/>\nBased on Environment Park experience in the field of renewable sources valorisation and biofuel production, this action is focused on steam explosion lipids recovery potentials and pathways, by applying the technologies currently available and considering different possible process parameters and process steps.<br \/>\nThe extraction and purification are carried out by performing tests at pilot scale aimed at generating generate purified lipids which will be in turn used by other partners by hydro-treatments for the final conversion into biofuels.<br \/>\nThe TAGs recovery at pilot scale is achieved by the use of innovative technologies like steam explosion followed by mechanical extraction and centrifugation\/membrane separation.<br \/>\nIn addition, Envipark is in charge of the communication and dissemination activity for the whole partnership.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Project coordinator<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Konstantinos Atsonios:<\/strong> <a
