ICARUS - International Cooperation for Sustainable Aviation Biofuels
The EU-funded project ICARUS – International Cooperation for Sustainable Aviation Biofuels – is dedicated to advancing Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production by addressing critical technology limitations for three pivotal SAF production routes: biocrude from hydrothermal liquefaction to SAF, isobutanol from lignocellulosic biomass to SAF, and synthetic Fischer-Tropsch fuels from biomass gasification to SAF. These three value chains have been strategically chosen due to their proximity to market and their indispensable role in achieving European and international SAF deployment targets.
ICARUS builds on a strong international consortium of 20 reputed partners including 5 partners from three Mission Innovation Countries (MIC) Canada, India and Brazil, and two partners from USA joining R&I activities as members of the External Executive Advisory Board (EEAB).
