The United States remain one of the largest emitters of CO2, with 17.3 tonnes per capita, despite a decline due to the recession in 2008-2009, high oil prices and an increased share of natural gas. In the European Union, CO 2 emissions dropped by 3% to 7.5 tonnes per capita. the United States (16%). the European Union (11%).

The conversion of biomass into bio-oil using fast pyrolysis technology is a promising alternative to convert biomass into liquid products—either for direct use or for easier transport and upgrading into higher value products. A paper on their work was published online in the ACS journal Energy & Fuels on 19 October. Zhang et al.

Conventional steam reforming is not sufficiently reactive to convert biomass constituents to H 2 and CO 2. Goodwin and Rorrer (2009). They found that: The carbon in xylose was completely reformed to H 2 -rich gas (62% H2, 34% CO2) by supercritical water at 250 bar. Hydrogen gas yields of 8.2 ±0.6 However, when a mixture of 1.6

This, they assert, erroneously treats all uses of bioenergy as carbon-neutral, renewable energy regardless of the source of the biomass, and could create strong economic incentives for large-scale land conversion as countries around the world tighten carbon caps.

There are two basic approaches to converting coal to synthetic fuels: indirect liquefaction (ICL) (Fischer-Tropsch) and direct (Bergius). The indirect liquefaction pathway first gasifies the coal to produce a syngas, and then catalytically converts the syngas to linear hydrocarbons or chemicals. Axens DCL process. Source: Axens.
