Comprehensive Sustainability Assessment & Product Standardisation in Next-Generation Biofuel Pathways
We are pleased to invite you to “From Waste to Sustainable Fuels – Comprehensive Sustainability Assessment & Product Standardisation in Next-Generation Biofuel Pathways: Integrating Waste-to-Fuel Innovations for Hard-to-Abate Sectors“, a comprehensive two-day symposium in Barcelona on 28-29 May 2026. This event marks a unique collaboration between seven leading EU-funded projects (Bio-MeGaFuel, FLEXBY, FUEL-UP, Fuels-C, PYSOLO, BeBOP and TEAPOTS) bringing together experts, researchers, industry stakeholders, and policymakers to explore sustainability assessment and product standardisation in next-generation biofuel pathways, with a focus on waste-to-fuel solutions for hard-to-abate sectors.
🔎 Featured Sessions
The Path to Market: Standards & SAF Qualification
- ASTM Requirements (The German Aerospace Center (DLR)/FUEL-UP project): Strategies for navigating specification barriers to move from “lab-scale” to “qualified fuels” in Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) projects.
- LCA Alignment (Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST)/FUEL-UP project):Harmonising Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methods to allow fair, standardised comparisons across various biofuel projects.
Engineering & Process Optimisation
- Side-Stream Valorization (Aristeng/FUEL-UP project): Deep dive into process design, TEA, and GHG emissions calculations for potential side-stream valorisation processes.
- Solar-Driven Biomass Pyrolysis (Politecnico di Milano/PYSOLO project): Performance assessment of solar-driven biomass plants for negative-emission biofuel production.
- Intensified Systems (TU Eindhoven-1Cube/Bio-MeGaFuel project): Exploring intensified systems for biobased and e-fuel conversion processes.
Digital Innovation & Local Impact
AI in Biorefineries (Center of Forest Science and Technology of Catalonia /PYSOLO project): Using Artificial Intelligence to assess forest and agricultural biomass in solar-powered biorefinery plants.
- Local Action (Centre for Research and Technology-Hellas (CERTH) /TEAPOTS project): How regional actions drive European-wide impact – The role of the Greek Pilot in TEAPOTS
Advanced Sustainability & Circularity Frameworks
- The Circularity Framework (ECODESIGN/BeBOP project): Implementing circularity in biofuel projects and, Recovering valuable elements from the solid residues from the thermal conversion of biomass (Pro-Akademia/ BeBOP project).
- Early-Stage Assessment (GreenDelta/Flexby project): Environmental and social LCA alongside life cycle costing for early-stage biofuels systems.
- The Global Sustainability Score (University of Burgos/Fuels-C project): A methodology integrating environmental, economic, social, circularity, and criticality indicators into a single global sustainability score to support decision-making and prioritisation in project evaluation.
- Climate Performance (RISE/Bio-MeGaFuel project): Analysing the cost and climate performance of biofuels in current markets.
