Tunable high-yield catalytic approach converts pyrolysis oil to bio-hydrocarbon chemical feedstocks including fuel additives

Green Car Congress

However, the resulting bio-oils are typically high in oxygen, water, solids and acids. The C 6 to C 8 aromatic hydrocarbons can be high-octane gasoline additives or feedstocks for the chemical and polymer industries. The C 2 to C 6 diols can serve as feedstocks for the chemical and polymer industries. Click to enlarge.
