urope is facing major challenges in balancing its future energy needs and reaching the targets of 10% renewables in transport fuels by 2020, and a total of 27% penetration across energy sectors by 2030. At the same time, increasing residual mass flows from society are
challenging Europe’s ability to design sustainable and circular approaches for valorization of organic as well as inorganic components. Increasing the use of bio-based products in the European economy is a strong focus, and an important aspect is the conversion of biomass into ‘advanced biofuels’ that
significantly contribute to reducing the greenhouse gases (GHG) by more than 60% as required by the RED II. The transportation sector is especially challenged in the European Energy Roadmap 2050, by an 80% reduction of GHG emissions compared to 1990, but with the
