Projectdetails

Introduction

SEAFARER has the objective to further mature, demonstrate, and bring to market the next-generation bio (fuel) oil process allowing oil refineries to retrofit for 100% climate-neutral operations.

Technology Overview

Our patented technology is the first process for high-efficient sustainable biomass conversion using lignocellulose and even pure lignin as feedstock – the most abundantly available & non-edible waste biomass on Earth, yet currently to 98% unexploited.

Process Efficiency

Our process is simple, featuring:

  • One-step reaction
  • No catalysts
  • 80% energy-efficient

Additionally, it is more than 2-times cheaper than all existing biofuel oil production methods.

Scalability and Unique Features

Our technology is thus highly scalable, able to produce lignocellulosic biofuel oil (L-BFO) that is fully miscible with all current liquid fuels. This is a unique feature, especially for the maritime sector, where:

  1. Engines found aboard large ships are adapted to more crude fuels.
  2. No refinement step is needed for using our L-BFO.
  3. Replacing heavy and costly engines is not an option.
