The HydPro group focuses on optimizing novel catalytic processes of sustainable fuels production from municipal, agricultural, forestry and industrial wastes, as well as from bio-based sources not competing with food or feed such as micro-algae, macro-algae, and energy crops. The group has an over 20 years expertise in catalytic hydroprocessing as well as growing expertise in hydrothermal liquefaction, both processes contributing to the production of low carbon transportation fuels and high-added value bio-chemicals. The group has received significant recognitions from Greek and International organizations, both for the scientific achievements as well as for the promotion of novel and promising fuel technologies for sustainable transportation.
