Sustainable Fuel
Brenni – Simpler Energy Transition
Biofuel
New technologies in production do not use biomass from unsustainable agriculture and do not compete with food production. The fuel meets the same quality standards as conventional fossil fuel
Raw Materials
Non-food biomass is used, for example timber and sawmill by-product are good feedstock for fuel production. It is also possible to use grasses and any plants that are grown without fertilisers or nutrients.
Energy Transition
Electricity and hydrogen are not always the best choice of energy source. Cars and other industrial applications using internal combustion engines will continue to need hydrocarbons, especially hybrid vehicles. Biofuels are a cost-effective substitute in aviation applications.
Production
Brenni is building a research and small-scale facility for the production of drop-in fuel from disparate sources of biomass. Initial focus is on development of pyrolisis, to deliver the highest efficiency. Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) is an approach which offers good results in the breakdown of biomass. Production of biofuels also demands a facility to clean and refine the fuel, and to deliver a range of products. The hydrogen which is an essential part of the process is produced using organic by-products and waste.
