Progress toward commercializing the GTI IH2 thermochemical process for drop-in hydrocarbon fuels

Green Car Congress

AUGUST 21, 2012

IH 2 is a new thermochemical process that employs a catalyzed fluidized bed hydropyrolysis step followed by an integrated hydroconversion step to directly convert biomass into high-quality, fungible hydrocarbon fuels. IH 2 technology involves use of internally generated hydrogen and a series of proprietary catalysts. Earlier post.)
