COCPIT

The COCPIT Project focuses on the cultivation of microalgae in intensified photobioreactors (PBRs) enclosed in a photovoltaic shell (STPV) that produces both biomass and solar energy, and the transformation of algal biomass into SAF is studied using two alternative pathways: the HEFA (hydrotreated esters and fatty acids) and HTL (hydrothermal liquefaction) pathways, both leading to the production of biofuels for aviation and maritime use that meet ASTM certification standards. The project will also deliver a decision-making tool based on Techno-economic and life cycle assessments to choose the between both developed pathways.
