BL2F is excited to announce that an abstract submitted by Maximilian Wörner, Dr. Ursel Hornung, and Prof. Dr. Nicolaus Dahmen from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) has been accepted for presentation at the upcoming PYROLIQ II conference. The conference, scheduled for May 7-12, 2023 in Schloss Hernstein, Austria, is focused on advancing biomass and waste pyrolysis and liquefaction technologies.

The PYROLIQ II conference will bring together scientists, researchers, students, and industry professionals to exchange ideas on fundamentals, process development, and integration, feedstock and product characterization, and the development of added-value products and market studies. Special attention will be given to waste from fossil origin such as plastics. The conference also offers a platform for discussions on commercially successful processes. Attendees will benefit from the friendly face-to-face discussions with peers that could catalyze the growth of the industry.

The BL2F presentation will focus on the comparison of reaction pathways of monomers and oligomers during hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of lignin, a natural biopolymer built up from aromatic structures. BL2F will also have a poster available for the attendees to showcase the EU Horizon project.

Overall, BL2F is excited to contribute to the conference and to engage in face-to-face discussions with peers, which could catalyze the growth of the industry.
