The Η2020 project BioCatPolymers aims at demonstrating a cost-effective, sustainable and efficient cascade technological route for the conversion of low-value, low-quality residual biomass to bio-polymers with equal or better performance than their fossil-based counterparts.
BioCatPolymers is specifically aiming at the efficient and economic production of two monomers with very large markets that can be further processed in the existing infrastructure for the production of various large commodity products, such as synthetic rubber for the production of car tires, polyurethanes and polyesters that can be used as foams for insulation, in footwear production etc. An important advantage of these plastics is the use of renewable biomass as feedstock for their production.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
BACKGROUND
Substituting biofuels for fossil fuels has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, the amount of carbon dioxide generated in the production of the biofuel should not cancel out any relative savings that might result from its use. Second generation biofuels are seen as a solution in this respect, because they are produced from waste products generated from other processes. Under EC proposals, a 5% cap must be imposed on biofuels produced from energy crops. Therefore, the use of residual feedstocks such as Waste Cooking Oils (WCO) is desirable as an alternative to energy crops, and also as a potential solution towards reaching the 2020 goal of the Renewable Energy Directive (2009/28/EC) for 10% biofuel usage in the transportation sector. Furthermore, channelling WCO into biofuels production also reduces their disposal in sewer systems, where they are contaminants that are costly to remove from wastewater.
