Catalytic Fast Pyrolysis for Chemicals: Cooperative Research and Development, CRADA Number CRD-16-00637 (Final Report)
The purpose of this partnership between the ExxonMobil Chemical Company and NREL is to advance the state of the art for converting biomass to liquid hydrocarbons using catalytic fast pyrolysis (CFP), with particular emphasis on directing and improving yields of such liquid hydrocarbons for uses in commodity chemical markets. CFP of biomass is a promising route for the production of renewable fuels and chemicals, and the key driver for economic viability is carbon yield to valuable products. The majority of prior CFP work has been targeted at fuel production, but this CRADA seeks to pursue routes to chemical co-products, thereby enhancing the overall economic viability of CFP. This project is beneficial to the public because it advances a technology that could one day provide renewable fuels and chemicals to our economy, thus improving the sustainability of our transportation and chemical manufacturing sectors.
