Vattenfall and Aalborg University Partner with SCF Technologies on Near Supercritical Bio-oil Process

Green Car Congress

CatLiq converts biomass and organic wastes in water at near or supercritical conditions (280-350 °C and 180-250 bar). In addition to the bio-oil/methane products, the process can be tuned to produce hydrogen and water soluble fuels such as methanol, ethanol or acetaldehyde. The oxygen content of the CatLiq bio-oil is 2-12%.
