Fast pyrolysis bio-oil requires upgrading in order to be used as an intermediate refinery stream as it contains various acids, oxygenates, heavy compounds and water. This work examines the potential of integrating the organic phase (called BioMates)…
The scarcity of energy supplies has recently become one of the most pressing global issues. Jordan, in particular, is facing a significant problem in terms of fossil fuel resources, particularly in generating electrical energy from thermal power…
Pyrolysis bio-oil is unsuitable as transportation fuel due to its chemical composition and high oxygen (>30 wt%) and water (>20 wt%) content rendering the upgrading essential prior any downstream use. The current work investigates the upgrading of a…
In particular, a straw-based Ablative Fast Pyrolysis (AFP) oil was upgraded via hydrotreatment (HDT) in order to be used as a blending component with fossil-based intermediates. The raw pyrolysis oil is characterized by H/C = 0.14, O/C = 0.58 and…
