Phy2Climate validates 5 phytoremediation pilots in Spain (South Europe), Serbia (Balkan region), Lithuania (Baltic region), Argentina (South America) and India (South Asia) at TRL-5.

Additionally, energy crops feed a pilot biorefinery in Germany that combines cutting edge biomass processing technologies to produce 4 types of clean drop-in biofuels for the road and shipping transport sectors, specifically: TRL-5: EN 14214 biodiesel; ISO 8217 marine fuel, EN 590 diesel; and EN 228 gasoline.

Validating the production of bio-coke is also part of Phy2Climate, as it can serve as a substitution for the use of petroleum coke in the metallurgical industry.

The global biofuel production potential of the Phy2Climate approach is estimated up to 137 million m3 per year. Furthermore, greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation of the produced drop-in biofuels is estimated at 149% compared with the fossil equivalents, resulting in a total saving potential of 500 Mega-tones CO2eq per year.
