efined to make green gasoline.
The bio-oils are high in oxygen, making them acidic and unstable, but the oxygen can be removed by adding catalysts during pyrolysis.
Although this adds to production costs and complicates the process, the resulting bio-oil is more suitable for use in existing energy infrastructure systems as a drop-in transportation fuel that can be used as a substitute for conventional fuels.
In 2013, the ARS team filed a patent application for a new pyrolysis process called T
