Wong, Alain, Zhang, Hao, Kumar, Amit
The conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to biofuel requires water. This study is focused on the production of hydrogenation-derived renewable diesel (HDRD) from lignocellulosic biomass. Although there has been considerable focus on the assessment of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, there is...

Production of renewable diesel through the hydroprocessing of lignocellulosic biomass derived bio oil: A review
Download2016-01-01
Due to the scarcity of fossil fuels and to population increases, there is an urgent need for renewable energy sources that can replace petroleum-derived fuels. Lignocellulosic biomass, a renewable resource, can be converted to bio-oil by fast pyrolysis and further upgraded to renewable diesel...
