Catalyst and Feedstock Effects in the Thermochemical Conversion of Biomass to Liquid Transportation Fuels

Catalyst and Feedstock Effects in the Thermochemical Conversion of Biomass to Liquid Transportation Fuels

Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper

Abstract

In this study, the thermochemical conversion of biomass by pyrolysis option is selected which is followed by the catalytic upgrading of pyrolysis vapors to aromatic and olefinic hydrocarbons (PYROCAT process). The aromatics constitute a high-octane gasoline blend, while the olefins can be utilized as feedstocks for various chemicals.
