The Project is currently entering the pre-demonstration stage.
The research activities on Industrial Applications in WP2 are almost completed with the conceptual process design and integration of the glycerol to liquid fuels plant fully simulated and designed to achieve a performance efficiency close to 19%. The preliminary LCA has been carried out including data from the literature and results from the laboratory scale analysis.
The syngas generation via chemical looping has been carried out using existing material at small laboratory scale and the new catalyst developed within the GLAMOUR project can achieve 100% glycerol conversion into syngas. The 3D printed reactor for FT synthesis is currently looking at the testing and modelling validation to tune the thermal behaviour and heat management using the 3D printed structures.
The Eindhoven University of Technology has purchased most of the equipment and they are now completing the integrated pilot plant for the TRL5 demonstration. The results of the project have been disseminated at different international conferences, including workshops with other EU projects and its industrial workshop held in the frame of the ECOMONDO exhibition in November 2022.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 884197
