Field Office
Description
This
funding opportunity announcement is requesting applications to develop integrated
upgrading processes of bio-oil at the bench scale that: 1. Demonstrate the
capability of long term processing to address the corrosivity
issues associated with stabilized bio-oil; 2. Catalytically de-oxygenate the
many molecular fragments that collectively comprise bio-oil; 3. Demonstrate the
ability to produce a final liquid transportation hydrocarbon fuel that can be
blended at up to 30 percent by weight with ASTM petroleum fuels OR produce an
upgraded bio-oil compatible with existing petroleum refining unit operations;
and 4. Provide extensive supporting data on the physical and chemical property
requirements of the petroleum operations to demonstrate the compatibility of
the resulting liquid hydrocarbon product with petroleum refining unit operations.
