Large-scale production of liquid advanced biofuels and renewable fuels of non-biological origin
This funding program, under Horizon Europe, aims to accelerate the large-scale production and deployment of advanced biofuels and renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBOs). It seeks to bridge the gap between existing technologies and industrial viability by supporting the construction and operation of full-scale plants across the EU, thereby contributing to the decarbonization of hard-to-abate sectors like aviation and shipping. This initiative is crucial for establishing a robust industrial capacity for sustainable fuel production and achieving ambitious renewable energy targets.
