Flexible and efficient coproduction of clean fuels for hard-to-decarbonize sectors
Enabling energy and material transition towards 2030 and beyond.
Advanced and renewable fuels are key for reaching the goals of the EU Green Deal
42.5%
Share of renewable energy in final energy consumption by 2030 introduced by the revised Renewable Energy Directive.
5.5%
Target for advanced biofuels and renewable fuels of non-biological origin in in the transport sector by 2030.
42%
Share of hydrogen used in industry to be derived from renewable fuels of non-biological origin by 2030
Butterfly is a Horizon Europe project that aims to:
Produce advanced biofuels and renewable fuels from waste and residual feedstocks
Demonstrate an innovative, efficient and flexible co-production process
Assess sustainability, define new value chains and business cases
BUTTERFLY value chain
Process Integration
Integration of indirect gasification, sorption-enhanced DME synthesis (SEDMES) combined with downstream methanation
Outcomes
Improve feedstock-to-fuel conversion efficiency by 15%
Achieve up to 97% carbon fixation efficiency in final products
Exploit synergy between rDME and SNG production
By valorizing waste and residual streams BUTTERFLY circular value chains will contribute to the climate-neutral energy priorities of the European Union
