A Korean research team has developed a technology that can be used to mass-produce aviation-grade fuels from wood wastes. Large volumes of lignin are generated as waste in the pulping processes that are used to produce paper. The pyrolysis of lignin produces an oil which has little industrial utility due to its high viscosity.
