The hydro-cracking of FT-wax from the Fischer-Tropsch process, to produce drop-in fuels, will be carried out in the Laboratory of Environmental Fuels and Hydrocarbons (LEFH). This laboratory, shown in Figure 1, is owned by CERTH. It is a catalytic reaction engineering laboratory that carries out applied research in the area of refining/bio-refining technologies, new conventional fuels, renewable fuels and chemicals, new catalytic materials and in environmental catalytic processes like DeSOx, DeNOx from flue gases.
