Recently, Corma and coworkers [8] published an exhaustive descriptive review on the synthesis routes of transportation fuels from biomass, and Ragauskas et al. [9] sketched their vision on the path forward for bio-fuels and biomaterials. Furthermore, a review by Lange et al. [10] appears in this book. [Pg.120]

The present chapter discusses aspects, known by the authors, of (a) biomass as feedstock, (b) the concept of bio-refinery, (c) thermochemical routes from lignocellulosic biomass to fuels, and (d) the contribution of catalytic technology. The main focus will be on the catalytic conversion of fast pyrolysis oil into fuels with regard to problems encountered currently and the challenges for future research and development. [Pg.120]
