PNNL biocrude-to-diesel demo passes 2,000-hour catalyst stability milestone

Green Car Congress

The biocrude oil came from many different sources, including wastewater sludge from Detroit, and food waste collected from prison and an army base. Just as crude oil from petroleum sources must be refined to be used in vehicles, biocrude needs to be refined into biofuel. —Michael Thorson, a PNNL engineer and project manager.
