Biofuels
Nowadays, the need for biofuel production has led us to the application and evaluation of various technologies. In our laboratory, two contemporary technologies are applied for the biofuels production: the catalytic biomass hydroprocessing and the hydrothermal liquefaction.
Catalytic biomass hydroprocessing
The biomass used as feedstock in catalytic biomass hydroprocessing technology may be derived from untreated or waste oils such as vegetable oils, fats, cooking oil, pyrolysis biooil, algae, etc.
Hydrothermal liquefaction
The hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL), known as liquid cracking, is a thermochemical depolymerization process in which as raw materials are used food processing wastes, manure, algae, urban sludge and lignocellulose biomass such as agricultural and forest residues.
