NREL researchers report on two approaches to upgrading biomass pyrolysis oil for hydrocarbon fuels

Green Car Congress

However, bio-oil, or pyrolysis oil, comprises many oxygenated organic chemicals with water-miscible and oil-miscible fractions. Woody biomass gave up to 36% carbon conversion to pure hydrocarbons at optimum conditions. This conversion presents more than 50% of the theoretical yield.
