The companies will evaluate the installation of new facilities for the conversion of forest residues into liquid biofuel using Envergent’s RTP rapid thermal processing technology.
RTP produces a clean, liquid biofuel that can be burned in industrial burners for heat, replacing petroleum-based fuel.
Green Fuel Nordic Oy plans to develop multiple RTP facilities in Finland over the next several years to provide biofuel for district heating systems that heat residential and commercial buildings from a central location.
The fuel, known as RTP green fuel, can be burned in industrial burners to produce heat or to power electric generators.
Envergent is a joint venture of Honeywell’s UOP and Ensyn Corp, a producer of renewable liquid fuels and chemicals from non-food biomass.
Honeywell’s UOP is a supplier and licensor of process technology catalysts, adsorbents and services to the petroleum refining, petrochemical, gas processing and biofuels industries.
