Proposals shall address one of the following:

In 2016:

• Biomass gasification to synthesis gas;
• Biomass pyrolysis and torrefaction to intermediate bioenergy carriers (pyrolysis oils and torrefied biomass);
• Biochemical conversion of lignocellulosic biomass sugars to hydrocarbons for diesel and jet engines;

In 2017:

• Biofuels from the carbon content in flue gases of industrial wastes through biochemical and/or biological conversion;
• Biofuels from aquatic biomass;
• Liquid biofuels from wastes and residues (forest, agricultural, the organic fraction of municipal and industrial wastes).

Proposals shall explicitly address performance and cost targets together with relevant key performance indicators and the expected impacts. Industrial involvement in the consortium and explicit exploitation plans are a prerequisite.
