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.

常规原油储量的减少导致非常规资源的产量增加，例如加拿大油砂的沥青和生物质转化为的燃料。在加拿大，估计有1680亿桶可利用现有技术从油砂中开采出来，而世界各地不断增加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传统化石燃料储量下降而引起的环境问题。与传统燃料相比，生物质转化过程产生的生物油具有以下劣质特性：含氧量更高、热值更低、粘度更大、化学不稳定性。沥青和生物油都需要升级工艺，以生产类似于从传统原油中获得的有价值的燃料和化学品。
