SUSTEPS

Sustainable, Secure and Competitive Biofuels

The SUSTEPS project is a comprehensive initiative focused on advancing the sustainable production of biofuels from microalgae. It addresses the entire value chain of this innovative process, aiming to identify and overcome challenges while maximizing opportunities. The project involves various key elements, including microalgae cultivation and carbon dioxide (CO2) fixation, processing microalgae into biocrude, upgrading biocrude, producing green hydrogen, and valorizing aqueous streams.
