Summary: In this project, led by Abengoa Bioenergía, the Bioenergy Group has two distinct research areas. The first focuses on the fine-tuning of a gasification technology suitable for alternative biomass fuels which are particularly difficult to process with the aim of producing a synthesis gas for the production of biofuels or other chemical products. The other area continues the study of ethanol production, but this time by means of alternative routes, such as the hydrocarbonization of DME, the hydrogenation of acetic acid, as well as the fermentation of synthesis gas. In the field of process analysis, the study of the production of other biofuels and/or bioproducts such as methanol, DME, SNG, Diesel-FT,
