Review of co-processing of biocrudes in oil refineries

Green Car Congress

The major compound groups in FPBO are water (20–25 wt %), carboxylic acids (∼ 5 wt %), aldehydes, ketones, and furfurals (25 wt %), sugar-like material (30–35 wt %), and lignin-derived compounds (20 wt %). In HTL, wet feedstock is liquefied in a hot (250–374 °C) and pressurized (4–22 MPa) water environment into biocrude oil.

DOE announces $150M cost-share award for first domestic production of HALEU for advanced nuclear reactors

Green Car Congress

This is higher than the 3 to 5 percent U-235 concentration, or “assay,” of Low-Enriched Uranium that fuels the existing fleet of light water reactors. HALEU is not currently available at commercial scale from domestic suppliers, a situation that could significantly impact the development and deployment of US advanced reactors.
