Biological Conversion of Sugars to Hydrocarbons Technology Pathway

Research output: NRELTechnical Report

Abstract

This technology pathway case investigates the biological conversion of biomass-derived sugars to hydrocarbon biofuels, utilizing data from recent literature references and information consistent with recent pilot-scale demonstrations at NREL. Technical barriers and key research needs have been identified that should be pursued for the pathway to become competitive with petroleum-derivedgasoline-, diesel-, and jet-range hydrocarbon blendstocks.
