Collaboration between SUEZ and hte for catalytic valorization of biomass
hte – the high throughput experimentation company entered into an R&D service agreement with SUEZ. This collaboration focused on the screening of various catalytic materials to convert biomass-derived feedstocks into sustainable gases. This biomass valorization R&D project featured a catalyst benchmarking step and subsequent poisoning resistance study aiming to qualify the optimum catalyst for commercial operations. With global sustainability goals to prevent global warming that need to be reached as soon as possible, there has been an intense focus on ways to shift from a product mix arising from fossil feedstocks to one based on renewable resources that produces very limited or zero carbon emissions. Biomass has proven to be…

hte wins NEN tender for FCC co-processing of biogenic feedstocks
hte – the high throughput experimentation company was contracted by NEN, the Royal Dutch Standardization Institute, for the provision of R&D services in the field of FCC (Fluid Catalytic Cracking). This project centered on the assessment of verifiable alternatives to radiocarbon analyses for allocating bio-based carbon contents in refinery co-processing applications, particularly of fast-pyrolysis bio-oils (FPBO). Refinery FCC is at the heart of any modern refinery as a pivotal petrochemical process that converts hydrocarbon fractions from petroleum (crude oil) into valuable products such as olefinic gases, gasoline, and other important petroleum products. Transitioning toward the co-processing of biogenic feedstocks provides refiners with an attractive and viable option for contributing to global decarbonization efforts…
