AALBORG UNIVERSITY logo

Aalborg University

Aalborg University is a young university, inaugurated in 1974, and with one of the best engineering programmes in the world. It hosts pilot scale facilities for continuous liquefaction, catalytic hydro-processing and distillation, supplemented by access to micro-scale parametric units and extensive analysis capabilities. First in its kind, AAU achieved the production of HTL-derived jet fuel from sewage sludge and performed combustion tests in an aviation turbine. In the context of COCPIT project, Aalborg University brings top-class knowledge regarding biocrude hydro-processing and it is in charge of fuel production.
