In-situ catalytic upgrading of bio-oil using scrap tyre char

该项目旨在开发以废轮胎焦为基础的先进的、具有成本竞争力的催化剂，废轮胎焦是一种低价值的副产品。这些催化剂将被优化用于升级从木质桉树热解中提取的生物油，桉树是澳大利亚丰富的生物质资源。该项目预计将促进生物油生产的商业化，并加强废旧轮胎焦的有价化。预计这将减少澳大利亚工业的碳足迹，并促进废旧轮胎的回收和再利用。

This project aims to develop advanced, cost-competitive catalysts based on scrap tyre char, an otherwise low-value by-product. These catalysts will be optimised for use in upgrading bio-oil derived from the pyrolysis of woody eucalyptus, an abundant biomass resource across Australia. The project is expected to promote the commercialisation of bio-oil production and enhance the valorisation of scrap tyre char. This is expected to reduce the carbon footprint from Australian industry, and promote the recycling and reuse of waste scrap tyres.
