Liquid by-products slow biofuels process – PNNL
.
Scientists from the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (DOE-PNNL) discovered that water in the biofuel conversion process helps form an impurity which, in turn, slows down key chemical reactions. The study examines the conversion of bio-oil, produced from biomass such as wood chips or grasses, into transportation fuels. Researchers used computer simulations to explore…
