Drop-in biofuels, more please sir: The Digest’s 2018 Multi-Slide Guide to jumping bio-oil yields
Improving hydrogen utilization and carbon recovery, as a pathway to higher efficiency bio-oil production using thermochemical process? That’s the focus for a project from RTI International that picked up significant DOE support in the search for #3 per gallon hydrocarbon biofuels. The researchers aim to increase hydrogen utilization from hydrodeoxygenation during in-situ catalytic pyrolysis, to maximize carbon and energy recover, and convert carbon in aqueous streams to methane for more hydrogen production. Not to mention looking for some strong value-add products and cleaner water streams.
RT International’s David Dayton gave this illuminating overview on the DO-RTI project’s promise and progress at the DOE Project Peer Review meeting.
