Substantial attention has been given to technologies that convert biomass to fuels and chemicals because of global climate change concerns, growing demand for diversified energy supplies, and government regulations. One of the emerging and promising platforms for biomass conversion is catalytic hydropyrolysis. A hydropyrolysis vapor upgrading process has been developed to produce renewable fuels and chemicals via highly efficient and selective hydrodeoxygenation of hydropyrolysis vapors on a non-sulfided form of conventional petroleum hydrotreating catalyst. The product portfolio can be controlled by tuning the operating conditions or catalyst recipes. In this presentation, the chemistry that governs the product selectivity will be discussed.
