1649-038 Lisboa,  Portugal 

Description

TA71 is the Research Infrastructure (RI) offered at LNEG (called BBRI-Biomass and Bioenergy Research Infrastructure) belonging to the Portuguese Roadmap of Research Infrastructures. The main aim of TA71 LNEG-BBRI is the development of biomass processing technologies for different end-uses (energy-based and bio-based products), the promotion of research excellence, external services provider, and training of new professionals on sustainable bioenergy and bioeconomy.

TA71-BBRI3 is offering R&D and advanced training activities on thermochemical processes for advanced biofuels production to the scientific community, professionals, universities, R&D institutes and industry. The activities will be directed towards professionals working in the Biomass and Bioenergy markets and MSc, PhD and Post-Doc students aiming at increasing the number of Microalgae-based Bioenergy expert professionals.

Testing Capabilities

Thermochemical conversion of microalgal biomass, waste biomass and other wastes into biofuels by pyrolysis and HTL; valorization of wastes by gasification; life cycle inventory (LCI) and life cycle assessment (LCA); technical economic assessment (TEA) of biofuels production by thermochemical processes.

Technical Equipment

Lab and pilot scale equipment for pyrolysis, gasification and Hydrodeoxygenation/Hydrotreatment processes. The pilot installations are a continuous pilot Hydrodeoxygenation/Hydrotreatment HDO/HDT (2 L/h input); a continuous pyrolysis reactor (0,3 Kg/h input) and a fluidized bed gasifier (5 g/min of input).

Additionally, several bench scale pyrolysis and Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) Parr reactors for liquid and gaseous biofuels production are also available.

Analytical support equipment includes: HPLC-DAD, HPLC-RI, GC-FID-TCD, GC-MS. SIMA-PRO and ECOINVENT software and database, respectively for LCI and LCA.
