Funded Activity Summary

Coproduction of Bioslurry and Liquid Transport Fuels from Biomass Pyrolysis. This project aims to develop a novel technology from biomass pyrolysis for coproducing a diesel/biodiesel/bio-oil blend as a liquid transport fuel for local use and a high-quality bioslurry fuel suitable for transport to centralised stationary applications. The technology aims to address key issues associated with current biofuel production from biomass pyrolysis due to the undesired high acidity, poor stability and high oxygen content of bio-oil. The liquid transport fuel is expected to be produced without the expensive bio-oil hydrotreating for deep de-oxygenation, which is otherwise required for using bio-oil as feedstock in conventional petroleum refining process. Both biofuel products can be adoptable for wide applications in the existing vast infrastructure.
