The resulting vapor products are condensed to form bio-oil which can be upgraded catalytically to renewable liquid fuels or chemicals. Using the faster computer simulations, they can track the conversion of wood all the way to the chemical vapor products. Credit: Paul Dauenhauer. Mettler, Samir H. Mushrif, Alex D. Paulsen, Ashay D.
