![]() ![]() ![]() The achievable product distribution from FTS differs significantly from the current as well as expected fuel demands. Indirect routes of producing liquid transportation fuels from biomass offer a significantly larger potential particularly due to the abundance of lignocellulosic biomass and waste materials.įTS is one of the promising technologies of biomass conversion into the mixture of saturated hydrocarbons with a broad distillation range. The need for other carbon sources to produce liquid fuels can be satisfied only partially by renewable resources that can be converted directly into liquid transportation fuels, i.e., vegetable oils and fats (lipids) for biodiesel or hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) and sugars for ethanol production. At the current level of the state-of-the-art, liquid fuels are an indispensable energy carrier for the transportation sector due to the existing infrastructure (fuel distribution as well as engine technology) and their high energy density. Consequently, research activities focused on the utilization of alternative and more preferably renewable energy resources are widely supported. ![]() Declining crude oil reserves together with the constantly increasing consumption of fossil fuels (diesel, gasoline, kerosene, etc.) and increasing emissions of greenhouse gases and other pollutants have prompted the increased global awareness of the new socio-economic and environmental challenge.
