Biomass conversion to intermediate bioenergy carriers and sustainable biofuels
Mechanical Catalytic Conversion (MECC): A Novel Process for the Conversion of Solid Biomass and Waste Oil Into Drop-in Liquid Transport Fuels and other By-products with Decarbonisation Potential
Short Introductive summary
Here we report a novel mechanical catalytic conversion (MECC) process for the direct conversion of solid lignocellulosic waste biomass into a drop-in diesel fuel replacement. The key relevance of this process is that it enables the direct conversion of solid biomass into a low oxygen (0.01 wt%), high energy (43 MJ/kg) hydrocarbon fuel. The fuel output is comparable to the middle distillates from fossil crude refining and can be readily adjusted to meet the requirements of different liquid marine and transport fuels.
