GTI and Haldor Topsoe complete pilot scale wood-to-gasoline biorefinery

June 2, 2014 |

In Illinois, Gas Technology Institute (GTI) and Haldor Topsoe have completed their integrated biorefinery to make drop-in gasoline at the pilot scale. The project converted wood into bio-derived gasoline by fully integrating and optimizing biomass gasification and syngas cleanup steps with a unique process to turn syngas into gasoline.

“Over the past four years, we’ve demonstrated an economically viable method for thermochemical conversion of woody biomass into gasoline. We’re extremely pleased with the positive results and the potential to meet growing energy needs with cost-effective and clean renewable resources,” says Rick Knight, GTI Institute Engineer and manager of the installation, integration, and operational testing at GTI.
