New one-pot process to produce gasoline-grade biofuel from the bacterial biopolymer PHB

Green Car Congress

A team from the Hawaii Natural Energy Institute, University of Hawaii at Manoa is developing a new one-pot process to produce gasoline-grade (C 6 –C 18 ) hydrocarbon oil from polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB)—an energy storage material formed from renewable feedstock in many bacterial species. Total mass recovery was 94 wt%.
