HIGFLY´s Cross Industry Benefits
Although the current innovations proposed in HIGFLY are most relevant to the aviation fuel sector, the technologies and materials being developed can also contribute to other sectors and be adapted to produce an array of products supplying precursors and ingredients for the bio-chemical, pharmaceutical and bio-plastic industries to name but a few. […]
The HIGFLY HiGee Reactor
Furfural is the main jet fuel precursor and building block in the HIGFLY concept. Current methods to convert biomass feedstocks into furfural are extremely resource inefficient, costly and energy intensive, yielding less than 50% of the potential value and lead to a complete loss of cellulose and lignin. […]
Jet fuel production from biobased molecules via catalytic condensation
Current bio-based alternatives for jet fuel (HVO/HEFA) rely on scarce and geographically dispersed feedstocks, such as used cooking oil and animal fats, that cannot cover the fuel demand and sustainability targets of the aviation sector. The HIGFLY project will develop the next generation of technologies to produce advanced renewable jet fuels from abundant and sustainable biomass feedstocks.

F-Cubed: Combustion Testing of Biofuel Pellets
The solid fuel pellets generated from the hydrothermal treatment and dewatering of the paper sludge, olive pomace and orange peel feedstocks have undergone combustion testing led by F-CUBED partner HEAT Systems in Ireland in June 2022. The testing was supported by colleagues from TNO who performed online gas analysis. […]

Feasibility Study of Bio-Sludge Hydrochar as Blast Furnace Injectant
The steel manufacturing industry is one of the largest and most important industrial sectors in the world. However, it is also one of the most energy intensive and highest coal consuming industries which has a significant impact on global CO2 emissions. One of the aims of work package 2 of the F-CUBED project was to convert paper sludge into an energy carrier suitable to be used as an injectant in blast furnace processes. […]
