16001 Catalytic Biofuel and Chemical Refining
OverviewRaw biofuels have a number of problems that need to be solved to increase fungibility with the existing transportation fuels infrastructure, and with underutilized byproducts. This session will focus on catalysis for such issues as glycerol and oxygneates to gasoline, biodiesel decarboxylation and hydrotreating, as examples.
