GREEN-OIL

The project was realized within  7th  Framework Programme
Project title: "Development of bio-oil dewatering and fractionation process and testing of upgraded bio-oil as engine fuel and feedstock for the production of lubricants"
Project acronym: GREEN-OIL
Project number: FP7-SME-2011-286674-GREEN-OIL

Duration: 30 months

Start date: 01.09.2011
End date: 28.02.2014

Coordinator: Organic Fuel Technology AS
Participants:

• Process Integration Limited - United Kingdom
• Zimmermann GmbH - Germany
• DHI Group Water & Environment - Denmark
• Centre of Process Integration, The University of Manchester - United Kingdom
• Biomass Research Group, Department of Energy Technology, Aalborg Universitet - Denmark
• Instytut Ciężkiej Syntezy Organicznej "Blachownia" - Poland

The aim of the project was to develop the technology to obtain bio-oil for the application in transportation as engine fuel and for the production of lubricants. Consortium wanted to develop the innovative dewatering process to reduce bio-oil water content below 2%, and a new fractionation process and conversion schemes for refining the dewatered bio-oil. Furthermore, the refined bio-oil was  tested as a engine fuel and the heavier fractions was assessed as fossil crude replacement for manufacturing lubricants.

This project was terminated.
