In the CARBIOW project, Maastricht University is conducting a sustainability assessment of a novel value chain that converts food waste into aviation and maritime fuels. Decarbonizing these transport sectors remains one of the major challenges, as they are hard to electrify and rely on energy-dense fuels compatible with existing engines. Sustainable biomass can contribute to such fuels, but its availability is limited, highlighting the need for additional, non-competing resources.
