ToSynFuel

ToSynFuel Overview

TO-SYN-FUEL is a Horizon 2020 research and innovation project focussed on demonstrating pre-commerical scale production of advanced bio-fuels derived from sewage sludge for the transport sector. Using a unique form of pyrolysis, these bio-fuels have the equivalent chemical properties of fossil-derived petrol and diesel and can be used in conventional engines without modification or loss of performance. The project is in the process of building a demonstrator plant in Germany capable of processing 500 kg/hour of dried sewage.

WRG Europe is one of the primary outreach and communication partners, responsible for ensuring this exciting technology reaches its target audience and engages with the public, industry and key stakeholders to garner maximum impact and exploitation. On this page we will keep you up-to-date with the latest news and developments in the project, exciting engagements events, as well as the informational videos we are producing for the project in order that you can understand the technology and how it can be integrated in to society. So stay tuned!

ToSynFuel Plant Demo Day

Since the Ground Breaking Ceremony back in October of 2018, the project team has been busy procuring the equipment and building the hardware necessary to construct the site. Despite Covid-19, the construction work has made great progress and is now in its final commissioning phase. The team held a virtual tour of the site on September 22 where guests could ask questions to the team and see the hardware running.

WRG Attend EUBCE Virtual Conference 2021

From April 26-29 the EUBCE bio-mass conference was held virtually again as a result of on-going Covid-19 restructions. Congratulations to EUBCE and ETA Florence for creating this unique event again. Whilst it cannot compare to a physical event, there were still excellent presentations and lively debate to be had.

WRG Europe hosted a virtual booth for the ToSynFuel project that allowed visitors to view project videos and documents and interact via chat boxes.

Advanced biofuels

ToSynFuel Overview

This video introduces the ToSynFuel project, the ground-breaking Thermo-Catalytic Reforming technology, and the importance of advanced biofuels.

Thermo Catalytic Reforming

What is TCR?

This video describes the ground-breaking Thermo-Catalytic Reforming (TCR) technology that can convert biogenic wastes into drop-in bio-fuels.

TCR process

TCR/PSA/HDO Integration

In this video we discuss how TCR is integrated with Pressure Swing Adsorption and Hydro-De-Oxygenation to create high-quality drop-in bio-fuels.

Sewage processing

Poo-to-Petrol!

This fun video aimed at children explains how ToSynFuel biofuels are made and why they are important to the greening of the transport sector.

More Coming Soon!

We have plenty more videos in the pipeline due for release in 2022 as the project moves towards completion. Stay tuned to find out more.
