title = "Conversion of Wet Waste to Sustainable Aviation Fuel and Chemical Intermediates via Catalytic Upgrading",
abstract = "Wet waste is a low-cost, abundant feedstock capable of displacing significant amounts of domestic petrofuel and petrochemical consumption. We present a sequential biochemical-thermochemical pathway to upgrade wet waste into hydrocarbon sustainable aviation fuel blendstock and chemical intermediates with near-zero or net-negative life-cycle CO2 emissions. Waste is initially upgraded to carboxylic acids via arrested anaerobic digestion, then catalytically converted to hydrocarbons via sequential heterogeneous catalytic ketonization, cyclization, and hydrodeoxygenation. We will discuss kinetics, durability, and reactor design of key catalytic processes, as well as applicability of final products to targeted applications.",
