New publication: Production of hydrogen-rich syngas from biogenic feedstocks in the EXO process

A new scientific paper related to the SynergyFuels project has been published in the journal Fuel. The study entitled„Influence of reforming temperature on the production of hydrogen-rich syngas by staged gasification“, performed by researchers from Fraunhofer UMSICHT and the Technical University of Munich, investigates how reforming temperature affects syngas composition and yield in the EXO… Read More »New publication: Production of hydrogen-rich syngas from biogenic feedstocks in the EXO process

Where do the biogenic feedstocks for SynergyFuels come from?

In order to produce innovative fuels from regional residual materials, suitable biogenic feedstocks must first be identified in sufficient quantities. The Sulzbach-Rosenberg branch of Fraunhofer UMSICHT is therefore systematically investigating the potential of various waste and residual materials such as biowaste from household collection bins, municipal sewage sludge, or wheat straw. The aim is to… Read More »Where do the biogenic feedstocks for SynergyFuels come from?

SynergyFuels at CEBC 2026

In January, Marc Schenker, a research associate at the Chair of Regenerative Energy Systems at the Technical University of Munich, presented the SynergyFuels project at the Central European Biomass Conference (CEBC) 2026 in Graz. He shared the latest results from the system analysis work package of the SynergyFuels plant with experts from around the world.… Read More »SynergyFuels at CEBC 2026

Sustainable diesel fuels from waste meet the diesel standard

In the SynergyFuels project, innovative diesel fuels were developed from sewage sludge, organic waste, and hop spent grains. Fraunhofer UMSICHT in Sulzbach-Rosenberg employed its proprietary TCR process – a pyrolysis process with integrated upgrading of the products, especially the pyrolysis oil. Through targeted optimizations in the hydrogenation process of the oil, contaminants were reduced, resulting… Read More »Sustainable diesel fuels from waste meet the diesel standard

SynergyFuels at the CTC Symposium

The symposium “Transformation of Chemistry by Using Renewable Feedstocks” took place in Halle (Saale) from September 18-19, 2025. The symposium was organized by the Center for the Transformation of Chemistry (CTC). In his lecture “Microbial conversion of straw hydrolysate to isobutanol,” Professor Dr. Bastian Blombach presented the work of Susanne Müller and Christoph Gunkel on… Read More »SynergyFuels at the CTC Symposium

SynergyFuels at the Annual Conference of VAAM

Christoph Gunkel and Susanne Müller, research associates at the working group for Microbial Biotechnology (Technical University of Munich), presented their work on microbial isobutanol production at the annual conference of the Association of General and Applied Microbiology (VAAM) at the Ruhr-University Bochum. The annual conference of the VAAM brings together researchers from different fields of… Read More »SynergyFuels at the Annual Conference of VAAM

Beyond the Halfway Mark: Partial Results and Next Steps

The collaborative project SynergyFuels surpassed its halfway point and entered the phase of sharing results through scientific papers, planning, and commissioning the fuel plants on a demonstration scale. The consortium reunited again in April 2025 at the project partner TFZ site in Straubing. It was the third in-person meeting since the project’s kick-off in April… Read More »Beyond the Halfway Mark: Partial Results and Next Steps

Systems analysis at the TUM Campus Straubing

The Chair of Renewable Energy Systems (TUM RES) is responsible for the system analysis of the synthesis routes of renewable fuels in the collaborative SynergyFuels project. As part of the system analysis, all individual processes (TCR, EXO, methanol synthesis + purification, isobutanol fermentation, formaldehyde production, ether synthesis, alcohol-to-olefins, and hydrotreatment with refining) were simulated in… Read More »Systems analysis at the TUM Campus Straubing
