The Interreg Aurora funded project FOR-BLEND invites you to an online webinar introducing its latest research on converting forest-based residues into sustainable fuel blending components for future transport. The cross-border project develops and upgrades pyrolysis oil from residual lignocellulosic biomass into advanced hydrocarbon fuel components that can be blended with conventional diesel, supporting the transition towards more sustainable energy solutions.
The webinar will present the complete research pathway, from pilot-scale biofuel production and fuel-property evaluation to process simulation and optimization. Participants will gain insight into how these complementary activities contribute to developing advanced liquid biofuels and strengthening the pathway from pyrolysis oil to practical fuel applications.
The webinar brings together the FOR-BLEND project partners, University of Vaasa, Åbo Akademi University and RISE Research Institutes of Sweden to present the latest advances in developing sustainable fuel blending components from forest-based residues. The full webinar agenda and presentation topics are available in this flyer.
