Abstract

Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.
 
Description Bio fuel techno-economic analysis revealed the challenging nature of implementing biofuelled trigeneration systems in building complexes. However integration from an early stage of planning may offset some of the economic and technical challenges
Exploitation Route We have developed high efficiency biofuel systems that minimise waste and optimise investment
