The zeolite catalyst then converts these hydrogenated products into light olefins and aromatic hydrocarbons in a yield as much as three times higher than that produced with the pure pyrolysis oil. The C 6 to C 8 aromatic hydrocarbons can be high-octane gasoline additives or feedstocks for the chemical and polymer industries.

The photosynthetic organisms will use sunlight to convert CO 2 to sugar, which the Shewanella will then convert to bio-hydrocarbons. The carbon dioxide is derived directly by a photosynthetic fuel-producing organism(s) or via intermediary biomass polymers that were previously derived from carbon dioxide.

A technical challenge to the production of isoprene from renewable sources such as biomass has been the development of an efficient process for converting carbohydrates into isoprene. One technical challenge has been the development of an efficient process for converting sugars into isoprene. —Joseph McAuliffe.

320-390 °C, 200-420 bar) aqueous phase process which converts biomass containing cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin into a high-octane gasoline fraction. Catallo and Junk determined that reacting organic compounds in near-critical or supercritical aqueous phases can transform the compounds over short time periods (i.e.,

In theory it’s easy to convert the carbohydrates in cellulose, for instance, to small sugar molecules that nourish microorganisms which in turn produce methane and ethanol. The respective carbohydrate polymers of both chitin and cellulose form extremely dense, resilient bonds. But in practice, it has proven to be quite challenging.

In July 2010, Gevo reported the successful production of isobutanol from fermentable sugars derived from cellulosic biomass. The company also successfully converted the cellulosic isobutanol into isobutylene and paraffinic kerosene (jet fuel).( Earlier post.). without the typical expression of co-products. Earlier post.).
