Advanced Catalysts for H₂-free hydrodeoxygenation

A revolutionary approach enabling practical biomass upgrading to biofuel

Welcome to CLEVER FUEL Lab!

A safe, affordable hydrogen resource to produce biofuels.

Sponsored by the European Research Council, the CLEVER-FUEL Laboratory is based at the Materials Science Institute (University of Seville–CSIC), being one of the core facilities within SURFCAT. CLEVER-FUEL Lab gathers a multidisciplinary research team with a strong background in the synthesis, optimisation and application of advanced heterogeneous catalysts for energy and environmental applications. We are a young and enthusiastic team with a passion for catalysis research.

Clean energy production, carbon capture/utilisation, bioenergy and low-carbon energy processes constitute our main research interests, with the next generation of biofuels as our central motto.
