Coproduction of Bioslurry and Liquid Transport Fuels from Biomass Pyrolysis

该项目旨在开发一种新的生物质热解技术，用于联合生产柴油/生物柴油/生物油混合物，作为当地使用的液体运输燃料和适合运输到集中固定应用的高质量生物浆燃料。该技术旨在解决目前生物质热解生产生物燃料的关键问题，因为生物油的酸度高，稳定性差，含氧量高。液体运输燃料预计将在没有用于深度脱氧的昂贵的生物油加氢处理的情况下生产，这是在常规石油精炼工艺中使用生物油作为原料所需要的。这两种生物燃料产品都可以在现有的庞大基础设施中广泛应用。

This project aims to develop a novel technology from biomass pyrolysis for coproducing a diesel/biodiesel/bio-oil blend as a liquid transport fuel for local use and a high-quality bioslurry fuel suitable for transport to centralised stationary applications. The technology aims to address key issues associated with current biofuel production from biomass pyrolysis due to the undesired high acidity, poor stability and high oxygen content of bio-oil. The liquid transport fuel is expected to be produced without the expensive bio-oil hydrotreating for deep de-oxygenation, which is otherwise required for using bio-oil as feedstock in conventional petroleum refining process. Both biofuel products can be adoptable for wide applications in the existing vast infrastructure.
