AUGUST 15, 2010
Researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison led by James Dumesic have developed a catalytic process to convert cellulose into liquid hydrocarbon fuels (diesel and gasoline), using a cascade strategy to achieve the progressive removal of oxygen from biomass, allowing the control of reactivity and facilitating the separation of products.

Carbon dioxide is the renewable carbon source, which is converted to sugars by plants, and those plant sugars can be converted to isobutanol using the Gevo Integrated Fermentation Technology, or GIFT. Isobutanol may be converted into isooctane, which can be used to reduce gasoline’s RVP and increasing its octane rating.
