Converting glycerol from biodiesel production into bio-gasoline

Green Car Congress

A team at the University of Idaho has demonstrated that glycerol, a byproduct from biodiesel production, could be used as a substrate for producing drop-in gasoline-range biofuel. The technology of converting methanol into gasoline was discovered and commercialized more than 3 decades ago. Tropsch synthesis (FTS).

UC Davis process produces gasoline-range hydrocarbons from biomass-derived levulinic acid; field-to-tank yield of >60% claimed

Green Car Congress

GC-MS chromatogram of the liquid products obtained after hydrodeoxygenation of angelica lactone dimer. Considering that levulinic acid is available with more than 80% conversion from raw biomass, a field-to-tank yield of drop-in, cellulosic gasoline of more than 60% is possible, the researchers claimed.
