Biorefinery activities in Austria

Biofuels basedFT synthesis via gasification: prototype operationWood to ethanol: feasibility studies

Chemicals basedGreen biorefinery in design phase

R&D activities Ongoing projects in connection with the above plantsFT “micro process”, low temperature/pressure catalytic conversion processR&D Program proposed under the “K1 scheme”(industrial partners required)


Wood gasification based plantsDemo plant in operation

Wood FB steam gasifier with CHPFT process with partial gas flow

GREEN BIOREFINERY AUSTRIA

A Consortium of Austrian R&D Partners has been developing the Austrian Green Biorefinery


in Austria ca. 100.000 to 150.000 haof pasture land will be not used for milk production any more.
