Conversion of Sugars into Hydrocarbons for Blending into Jet and Diesel Fuels: General Considerations

Research output: NRELPoster

Abstract

To transform biomass into components compatible with hydrocarbon fuels it is clear there are two main transformations that need to occur, deoxygenation and carbon chain extension. Deoxygenation is necessary to increase energy content and to compatibilize the components with existing petroleum-derived fuels.
