NOVEL PROCESS FOR PRODUCING LIQUID HYDROCARBON BY PYROLYSIS OF BIOMASS IN PRESENCE OF HYDROGEN FROM A CARBON-FREE ENERGY SOURCE

摘要

In at least one embodiment of the present invention, a method for producing liquid hydrocarbons from biomass is provided. The method comprises pyrolizing the biomass with hydrogen (H2) to form bio-oil. The bio-oil comprises alkanes, alkenes, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, aromatics, hydrocarbons or mixtures thereof. The H2 is formed from a carbon-free energy source.
