Abstract

A method for producing biofuel and other hydrocarbons from bio-oil is disclosed. The method does not require the use of hydrogen derived from fossil fuel.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
We claim: 
     
         1 . A method for upgrading bio-oil into hydrocarbons and other fuel products that utilizes synthesis gas, or syngas, as a source of hydrogen from gasification of biomass or other sources to complete. 
     
     
         2 . A method for upgrading bio-oil into hydrocarbons and other fuel products that utilizes the water gas shift reaction (WGS) to provide hydrogen for the upgrading process. 
     
     
         3 . A method for upgrading bio-oil into hydrocarbons and other fuel products that utilizes syngas or WGS as a source for hydrogen to facilitate the upgrading process. 
     
     
         4 . A method for upgrading bio-oil into hydrocarbons and other fuel products that utilizes syngas or WGS as a source for hydrogen and a catalyst composed of CuO—ZnO, Cu—(La)O, Fe 2 O 3 /Cr 2 O 3 , CuO—ZnO—Al 2 O 3 , CuO—ZnO—Cr 2 O 3 , Cu/CeO 2 , Ni/CeO 2 , and/or other catalysts useful for the upgrading process including those that contain at least one or more of the following metals Ni, Cr, Mo, W, Co, Rh, Ir, Ru, Re, Pt, and Pd along with a suitable support material.
