Anellotech Bio-TCat hits commercially-targeted yields during 6 months of continuous operations

Green Car Congress

Anellotech’s core technology, Thermal Catalytic Biomass Conversion (Bio-TCat) was developed to produce chemicals and fuels from renewable, non-food biomass. Cellulosic ethanol or hydrogen can be made from Bio-TCat’s carbon monoxide co-product by using third-party technology.

New Four-Step Process for the Direct High-Yield and Economic Production of Renewable Jet and Diesel Fuels From Wood Processing Waste

Green Car Congress

Integrated conceptual lignocellulosic biorefinery for the production of renewable chemicals and liquid fuels. The process is an extension of early work by Huber and James Dumesic that first presented a catalytic process for the conversion of biomass-derived carbohydrates to liquid alkanes (C 7 –C 15 ).

Tunable high-yield catalytic approach converts pyrolysis oil to bio-hydrocarbon chemical feedstocks including fuel additives

Green Car Congress

Pyrolysis bio-oils are produced by the thermal decomposition of biomass by heating in the absence of oxygen at more than 500 °C; fast pyrolysis of biomass is much less expensive than biomass conversion technologies based on gasification or fermentation processes. earlier post.). —Vispute et al.
