Fraunhofer Institute UMSICHT is operating a pre-commercial demonstration plant that turns biogenic waste (including agricultural and forestry residues and sewage sludge) into refinery-grade “green” crude oils using Thermo-Catalytic Reforming (TCR). By combining intermediate pyrolysis with integrated catalytic reforming, the process produces refinery-compatible crude oils and biochar, and the plant is now generating operational data to support scale-up and industrial integration.

What do you see as the biggest hurdle to scaling TCR—feedstock logistics, capital cost, or integration with existing refineries?

Refinery-grade crude oils can be made from biogenic waste using this technology

A pre-commercial plant is now providing operational data for eventual scaleup and industrial integration of a technology that generates refinery-grade crude oils from biogenic waste, such as agricultural and forestry waste and sewage sludge. The demonstration plant, built and operated by the Fraunhofer Institute UMSICHT, runs a process known as Thermo-Catalytic Reforming, which combines intermediate pyrolysis of sewage sludge with an integrated catalytic reforming step to produce refinery-compatible green crude oils and biochar.
