Biocrude oil produced via hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of biomass could provide a low-carbon supplement for transportation fuel supply. Product yield and physiochemical properties of HTL are primarily affected by the type of feedstock, processing conditions (primarily reaction temperature and time), and existence of a catalyst.
