| Technology Brief |
The AgBioEn project will be one of the first commercial and large-scale biomass to liquid (BTL) plants that utilize FT synthesis methods.
While traditional applications of the Fischer Tropsch (FT) process involved the gasification of CH4 or coal, biomass-based FT plants have shown promising results as the production method of biofuels.
This newer type of FT synthesis begins with the gasification of biomass, which produces a bio-syngas product that can be separated into H2 and CO components by an FT reactor.
