Researchers develop four-step catalytic process to produce petroleum refinery feedstocks from biomass sugars

Green Car Congress

This will help eliminate the expensive hydrotreatment processes downstream in the petroleum refineries, and reduce combustion-related air pollutants, the researchers noted. Furthermore, most of the previous processes produce renewable fuels that can only be used in gasoline engines. per gallon in a large integrated biorefinery.
