At last month’s World Renewable Energy Forum 2012 in Denver, Colorado, researchers from the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory presented papers on two different approaches to upgrade pyrolysis oils to hydrocarbon fuels or fuel intermediates. Fast pyrolysis can convert about 70% of the mass and energy into the liquid product.

The Enerkem process has four steps: feedstock pre-treatment; gasification; syngas conditioning; and conversion. Enerkem uses a thermochemical gasification process to produce a uniform syngas, which is subsequently converted into liquid fuels, such as ethanol, as well as biochemicals. Click to enlarge.

Rice engineer, physicist and chemist Naomi Halas and collaborators describe a one-step, light-driven method that uses gold nanoparticles to convert hydrogen sulfide into high-demand hydrogen gas and sulfur in a single step. Known as the Claus process, it produces sulfur but no hydrogen, which it instead converts into water.
