Project: Techno-economic assessment of the thermochemical conversion of Cuban sugar cane lignocellulosic residues into liquid biofuels.

2013-10-01 – 2019-09-30

Abstract

In this project, the techno-economic feasibility of conversion of bagasse and sugarcane agricultural residues into biofuels by means of fast pyrolysis, is assessed and tailored to the country-specific situation of Cuba. The purpose is to evaluate an integrated sugarcane processing/fast pyrolysis plant where biofuels production is effectively decoupled from its application in high efficiency boilers and diesel engines.
