How It Works
What You Will Take Away
A practical, applied understanding of co-processing — from feedstock selection through to carbon accounting — delivered in a single focused session.
Susan has been a biofuels expert for 15 years, with a core focus on conversion technologies for the production of drop-in biofuels and sustainable aviation biofuels (SAF). Her expertise lies in the commercialisation of various technology pathways for SAF production, including gasification and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, pyrolysis and hydrothermal liquefaction and upgrading of biocrudes, lipid-based technologies, biochemical pathways, and co-processing of bio-intermediates within petroleum refineries.
Built for Industry Practitioners
This masterclass is designed for professionals working across the refinery, fuel production, and aviation sustainability value chain.
