DOE issues RFI on Carbon, Hydrogen, and Separation Efficiencies in Bio-Oil Conversion Pathways

November 29, 2012 |

In Washington, the US Energy Department issued a request for information to garner input from researchers in industry, academia, and other interested biofuels stakeholders to identify key technical barriers in converting biomass via thermochemical direct liquefaction pathways to transportation fuels in the gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel ranges. For the purpose of this RFI, thermochemical direct liquefaction pathways include fast pyrolysis, in-situ and ex-situ catalytic pyrolysis, hydropyrolysis, hydrothermal (or solvent) liquefaction, followed by various combinations of bio-oil stabilization and upgrading processes.  For more information, view the full RFI (DE-FOA-0000796) on the EERE Exchange website.
