A way how to maximize the retention of biogenic carbon in the pool of liquid fuels is a step closer to advanced biofuels to mitigate climate change.
Our recent work was dedicated to the integration of biofeedstock (pyrolysis bio-oil) into the crude-oil refinery streams in the way to maximize the conversion of biocarbon to the fuels. This work demonstrates the novelty of how to preserve almost 90% of bio-carbon from feed (hydrogenated bio-oil distillation residue) and convert it to liquid fuels in the hydrocracking process under conventional reaction conditions. Compared to other solutions, such a process generally preserves 2-3 times more bio-carbon in liquid products, which benefits in atom economy.
