Study explores energy balance of Fischer-Tropsch diesel via autothermal reforming of pyrolysis oil from biomass residue; spreadsheet offered as tool

Green Car Congress

Researchers from the Stevens Institute of Technology, BASF Catalyst and Golden BioMass Fuels Corporation report on their investigation of an energy balance, in broad outline, for the production of a high-quality synthetic diesel from residual crop biomass via a Fischer-Tropsch route in a paper published in the ACS journal Energy & Fuels.

Researchers propose CO2 recycling to improve Fischer-Tropsch GTL efficiency and reduce total CO2 emissions

Green Car Congress

At this moment, it is very important to render the GTL technology more efficient because we do not need to disturb ourselves to change the energy-related infrastructure and the transportation vehicles already fitted to petroleum if we can effectively convert natural gas to the clean liquid fuels and useful basic chemicals. —Zhang et al.
