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.

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.
