Background

“Synergies for improved environmental and economic performance of first generation biofuels for transport”

Identify Evaluate

Case studies and literature studies• Inventory of existing technologies and synergies• Identification of possible new synergies

Conditions for implementation• Interviews and theoretical framework (power, risk)• Innovation needed

Environmental performance of production systems• Environmental Systems Analysis

Methodology

• Over 60 Synergies Produced• Analysis Trends and a need for Classification
