At a time when the focus is on global warming, CO2 emission, secure energy supply, and less consumption of fossil-based fuels, the use of renewable energy resources is essential. Various biomass resources are discussed that can deliver fuels, chemicals, and energy products. The focus is on the catalytic conversion of biomass from fatty acid oil and lignocelluloses rich materials. Currently, fatty acid oils in vegetable oil and animal fat could convert to fatty acid methyl acid (FAME) biodiesel, hydro-treating vegetable oil (HVO) and bio-jet. Also, BTL (Biomass to Liquid) as advanced biofuels can be produced using lignocelluloses biomass for conventional diesel engines, pure or blended with conventional diesel due to its similar physical properties to diesel. BTL fuel was first produced by Fischer-Trosch (F-T) process with syngas (H2/CO) catalysts. This study reports fuel characteristics of catalytic conversion of biomass for transport fuels in Korea. |
