Biomass to biocrude: A brief review of catalytic liquefaction
BioResourcesBiomass energy is the largest source of renewable energy, accounting for approximately 55% of global renewable energy consumption. Therefore, it holds great importance for the efficient utilization of biomass. Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) has been demonstrated to convert biomass into liquid biofuels, with physicochemical properties comparable to ...
