US researchers demo separation-free, IL-based process for conversion of biomass to advanced biofuel

Green Car Congress

Researchers from three US national labs (Berkeley, Pacific Northwest and Sandia) has demonstrated a separation-free, ionic-liquid (IL)-based process to convert biomass to an advanced biofuel (the sesquiterpene bisabolene). They achieved high titers of bisabolene relative to those previously obtained using a multi-step process.
