Diminishing conventional crude oil reserves have led to increased production from unconventional resources, such as bitumen from the Canadian oil sands and fuels converted from biomass. In Canada, an estimated 168 billion barrels are recoverable from the oil sands using available technologies, while increasing biofuel research throughout the world reflects environmental concerns due to greenhouse gas emissions, advantages of energy diversification, and declining conventional fossil fuel reserves. Bio-oils produced from biomass conversion processes have the following inferior properties compared to conventional fuels: higher oxygen content, reduced heating value, greater viscosity, and chemical instability. Both bitumen and bio-oils require upgrading processes to produce valuable fuels and chemicals similar to those obtained from conventional crude oils.

传统原油储备的减少导致了非常规资源的产量增加，例如加拿大油砂的沥青和从生物质转化的燃料。在加拿大，估计可以使用可用技术从油砂中回收1680亿桶，同时增加世界各地的生物燃料研究反映了由于温室气体排放，能源多样化的优势以及常规化石燃料储量下降而引起的环境问题。与常规燃料相比，由生物量转化过程产生的生物油具有以下特性：较高的氧气含量，降低的加热价值，更大的粘度和化学不稳定性。沥青和生物油都需要升级工艺，以生产有价值的燃料和化学物质，类似于从常规原油中获得的化学物质。
