EU-funded project develops nanocatalysts for biofuel production

In Germany, an EU project developed innovative nanocatalysts to create an integrated modular and highly efficient process for producing fuels from renewable energy sources. Fifteen partners across eight countries joined efforts in the EU-funded project BIOGO-FOR-PRODUCTION to radically transform production processes and realize these essential improvements.

The project focused on developing an integrated, coherent and holistic approach for transforming biofuel production from sustainable sources. Project partners utilized novel technology to prepare nanoscale catalysts with reduced dependence on precious metals and rare earth materials as well as innovative industrial methods for every production step.
