Sustainable Fuels and Gases

The professorship Sustainable Fuels and Gases focuses, among other things, on extracting green fuels from waste streams. In addition, research into sustainable fuels for shipping, aviation and heavy industry is conducted, in order to respond to the needs of regional companies to innovate and become more sustainable.

The research of professor Joàn Teerling focuses on extracting green fuels from waste streams at the place where the waste is generated, in order to make the energy chain more sustainable, reduce the consumption of energy and valuable raw materials and prevent further burdening of the environment with waste. The aim is to make the move to sustainability more attractive for small and medium-sized enterprises, such as the livestock industry.

Experimental research in the living lab

The research has an experimental character. At Entrance's living lab, we test synthetic methods to convert residues into sustainable fuels using wind or solar energy. Successful methods are scaled up and further tested in pilot projects on site. Together with other professorships, we also take into account system integration, social acceptance of new developments and the necessary legal and fiscal framework.

Sustainable fuels

In addition to experimental research, we also gain knowledge on sustainable fuels for shipping, aviation and heavy industry. With the aim of responding to the needs of regional companies to innovate and become more sustainable. Underlying all these issues is the technical and financial feasibility of a physical-chemical process. With a thorough understanding of these processes, different options can be compared, to make better informed fuel choices.
