Dynamotive Produces Renewable Gasoline and Diesel from Biomass in Three-Stage Process: Pyrolysis, Hydroreforming, Hydrotreating

Green Car Congress

Since UBA still contains ~10% oxygen it is not a pure hydrocarbon and needs further treatment to convert it to motor fuel grade products. Among the technologies commercially available are FCC (catalytic cracking) and hydrotreatment/hydrocracking. UBA can blend freely with most hydrocarbon fuels in concentrations up at least 50%.
