Biofuel Technologies

Researchers in Germany studied different methods to convert biomass and lignin into oil after the oil crisis in 1973. They found that high-pressure technology was too complex for this process, leading them to explore simpler technologies like fast pyrolysis. By focusing on factors like feedstock and heating rate, they were able to increase the yield of liquid products from biomass. This research has led to significant advancements in converting biomass into useful fuels.
