Summer School

MISSED THE BL2F SUMMER SCHOOL?

No worries! We’ve got you covered. Even though the Summer School is over, you can still read up on all the content and presentations. Dive into the latest public versions of the presentations and delve into the latest advancements in biofuels and the foundational research that drives the BL2F project.

Below, you’ll find information on various topics presented during the summer school, including “Black liquor and IHTL,” “Biomass and pyrolysis,” “CO2 and fast pyrolysis,” “Methanol and olefins,” and “H2 economy”.
