The public deliverable "D2.6 - Catalytic performance of novel catalyst mixtures for the direct synthesis of DME" has been released and it is available for download in the dedicated website section. This deliverable reports the results of obtained in our study to identify the optimum catalysts mixture for the direct synthesis of DME (dimethyl ether) from syngas. Two kind of acid catalysts for the DME production from methanol were tested, the commercial catalyst γ-Al2O3 and the supported heteropolyacid HWSi/TiO2 (HPA). For the methanol synthesis from syngas we used a Cu-based commercial KATALCOTM51-8 (referred to as CZA_com). Both catalysts were mixed

Two poster related with FLEDGED project activities has been presented by Selina Hafner (University of Stuttgart) and Giulio Guandalini (Politecnico di Milano) during the EUBCE 2019 (27th European Biomass Conference and Exhibition), taking place on 27-30th May 2019 in Lisbon (Portugal). University of Stuttgart presented the experimental investigation of the sorption enhanced gasification of biomass in the 200 kWth dual fluidized bed pilot plant operated in their facilities. POLIMI presented the preliminary simulation of the integrated FLEDGED DME production process exploiting the plant flexibility by means of renewable hydrogen injection from electrolysis. A reforming unit able to recover the high
