Journal Article
Lilonfe, S., Dimitriou, I., Davies, B., Abdul-Manan, A. F., & McKechnie, J. (2024). Comparative techno-economic and life cycle analyses of synthetic “drop-in” fuel production from UK wet biomass. Chemical Engineering Journal, 479, Article 147516. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cej.2023.147516

Renewable synthetic hydrocarbon “drop-in” fuels can help mitigate greenhouse gas emissions from transport, particularly in hard-to-abate sectors like freight and aviation. However, no study has extensively addressed the concerns over biomass availabi...
