概述：开发有效地将生物质转化为燃料和工业化学品的创新方法是当今时代的重大挑战之一。正丁醇是一种多用途和可持续的平台化学品，可以从各种废弃生物质来源中生产。从丁醇生产燃料和化学品的新技术的出现将使其成为当前全球能源危机的一个必要的动态和多方面解决方案的重要组成部分。影响：从生物质生产丁醇并将其用作一系列燃料产品的前体，有可能减少全世界的石油使用。与其他新兴的可再生技术相配合，可以实现温室气体排放的大幅减少。可再生能源的迅速纳入世界燃料供应也可能有助于抵消运输燃料价格的预期上涨，因为石油供应下降。应用：最近的工作表明，丁醇是一种潜在的汽油替代品，也可以与传统的柴油混合大量。这些努力已经过渡到研究，重点是开发从丁醇生产一系列含氧和完全饱和的喷气和柴油燃料的可行方法。本文中讨论的技术将有助于推动一系列丁醇基可持续燃料的商业化和利用，这些燃料可以补充和部分取代传统的石油衍生燃料。出版社：John Wiley and Sons，Ltd.
OVERVIEW: The development of innovative methods to efficiently convert biomass to fuels and industrial chemicals is one of the grand challenges of the current age. n-Butanol is a versatile and sustainable platform chemical that can be produced from a variety of waste biomass sources. The emergence of new technologies for the production of fuels and chemicals from butanol will allow it to be a significant component of a necessarily dynamic and multifaceted solution to the current global energy crisis.IMPACT: The production of butanol from biomass and its utilization as a precursor to a diverse set of fuel products has the potential to reduce petroleum use worldwide. In concert with other emerging renewable technologies, significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions may be realized. The rapid incorporation of renewables into the world fuel supply may also help to offset predicted increases in transportation fuel prices as the supply of oil declines.APPLICATIONS: Recent work has shown that butanol is a potential gasoline replacement that can also be blended in significant quantities with conventional diesel fuel. These efforts have transitioned to research focused on the development of viable methods for the production of an array of oxygenated and fully saturated jet and diesel fuels from butanol. The technologies discussed in this paper will help drive the commercialization and utilization of a spectrum of butanol based sustainable fuels that can supplement and partially displace conventional petroleum derived fuels.
