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

Green Car Congress

Fast pyrolysis—the rapid heating of biomass to intermediate temperatures (400-600 °C) in the absence of oxygen and the rapid cooling of the resulting vapors to bio-oil—is an efficient method to convert all fractions of biomass, including lignin, into a liquid product: pyrolysis oil. Catalysts, noted Iisa et al.
