LowCoBio shares insights and progress at CETP workshop in Leipzig
09 October 2025, 09:45
On 24–25 September 2025, Project Manager Linda Sandström represented the LowCoBio project at a knowledge-sharing workshop hosted by the Clean Energy Transition Partnership (CETP) in Leipzig, Germany.
The event brought together European experts and project teams working with carbon capture, hydrogen and renewable fuels, providing an opportunity to exchange experiences, share progress and explore new opportunities for collaboration in advancing sustainable energy solutions.
The aim of the workshop was to encourage innovation and the sharing of learning between projects. It included presentations, interactive sessions and discussions that looked at the latest technology and the most effective ways of working in the CETP TRI3 portfolio.
“It was inspiring to learn more about the other ongoing projects within CCUS, Hydrogen and Renewable Fuels”, says Linda Sandström. “Especially hydrogen and CCUS are clearly hot topics at the moment. We also had fruitful discussions on how to achieve societal impact from our research projects.”
Progress and achievements within LowCoBio
At the workshop, Linda Sandström presented the latest progress within LowCoBio, a CETP-funded collaboration coordinated by RISE Research Institutes of Sweden. The project aims to accelerate the commercialisation of renewable fuels from bio-oil by improving production processes and addressing corrosion challenges in biofuel systems.
So far, the team has selected and sourced biomass feedstocks, distributed materials among partners, and collected industrial pyrolysis oil samples.
”Now the fun part of the project is starting”, says Linda Sandström. “We are now initiating biomass pretreatment experiments, which will be followed by pyrolysis screening of the pretreated biomasses. The first hydrotreatment tests of pyrolysis oil from industry partners will also be performed in near-time, during which we will also perform corrosion studies".
Techno-economic and life cycle assessments will follow later in the project.
Through these steps, LowCoBio is laying the groundwork for more durable and efficient biofuel production processes, contributing to a cleaner and more sustainable energy future.
