Primary Conversion of Biomass into Intermediate Liquid Products

The goal of COMSYN, an EU-funded project, is to create a production concept for generating competitive bio-based fuels through a compact gasification and production method. The target decrease in the production cost of the biofuel is nearly 35% as against substitutive methods, culminating in a production cost of nearly less than 0.80 Euros per liter of diesel.
