PAVING THE WAY FOR A NEXT GENERATION BIOBUTANOL (BUTANEXT)

Description

Biofuels are considered to be the most promising substitutes for the decarbonisation of the transport
sector, especially heavy road and air transport. For this reason new and more sustainable drop-in biofuel alternatives
are being pursued with the aim of overcoming the current challenges and limitations exhibited by 1st generation
biofuels through R&D projects such as Next Generation Butanol (ButaNexT). The ButaNexT project aims to develop
a highly efficient production process for the conversion of sustainable lignocellulosic feedstocks into bio-butanol
through the integration of different technology developments. Begun in 2015, the project aims to develop, optimise
and integrate several novel and advanced technologies for the production of sustainable, more efficient and versatile
biobutanol from lignocellulosic feedstocks and wastes. The following article shows the main achievements to date of
the ButaNexT project towards developing next generation biobutanol.
