An example is the collaborative agreement between TechnipFMC Benelux’s and BTG BioLiquids B.V. (BTL), which enables the commercialization of Fast Pyrolysis Bio-Oil (FPBO) Plants based on BGT-BTL proprietary FPBO Technology. FPBO technology converts biomass waste into bio-oil; a second-generation intermediary biofuel. FPBO as a renewable, second-generation bio-liquid can be used as a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels to produce renewable energy carriers and chemicals. It is obtained through the application of FPBO technology, which transforms non-food lignocellulosic biomass into liquid. Many kinds of biomass residues not competing with the food chain − such as wood residues, straw, sugar cane bagasse and sun flower husks − can be used. TechnipFMC Benelux is working to develop the Co-FCC route for FPBO conversion to bio-fuels. TechnipFMC Benelux is planning to carry-out FPBO co-processing trial in FCC unit.
