Biomass-to-biocrude on a chip via hydrothermal liquefaction of algae [PDF]

open access: yesLab on a Chip, 2016
Hydrothermal liquefaction uses high temperatures and pressures to break organic compounds into smaller fractions, and is considered the most promising method to convert wet microalgae feedstock to biofuel. Here, we present a microfluidic screening platform to precisely control observe, and analyze this process at high temperature and pressure.

Use of Co-Solvents in Hydrothermal Liquefaction (HTL) of Microalgae

open access: yesEnergies, 2019
This study reviewed and summarized the literature regarding the use of alcohols during hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of algal biomass feedstocks. The use of both pure alcohols and alcohol-water co-solvents were considered.

MOLECULAR PATHWAY ANALYSIS OF BIOCRUDE FORMATION IN HYDROTHERMAL LIQUEFACTION

open access: yes, 2023
Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) is a process utilized to convert high water content feedstocks into a usable biocrude oil at temperatures between 250 – 350 °C and pressures in excess of 100 bar. Despite HTL’s prevalence as a research topic since the turn

Biocrude suitability for petroleum refineries

open access: yes, 1988
Technologies are now being developed that could produce crude oil from biomass, making available an alternative fuel source as petroleum supplies dwindle and prices rise. If the existing infrastructure for transporting and refining petroleum could be used for biocrude, the transition from petroleum would be smoother and less costly.

Lignocellulosic materials. A promising hydrothermal route to biorefinery products

open access: yesNext Materials
Hydrothermal conversion (HTC) has emerged as a viable alternative to traditional crude oil. In this study, the hydrothermal liquefaction process of a hybrid herbaceous biomass species (Pennisetum sp) was investigated to understand the most appropriate ...

Advancements and Challenges in Second‐ and Third‐Generation Biofuels: A Comparative Analysis of Lignocellulosic and Algal Feedstocks

open access: yesSafety Science and Technology, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Advanced biofuels derived from nonfood biomass are increasingly recognized as strategic components of low‐carbon energy systems, particularly for sectors where direct electrification remains difficult. Second‐generation biofuels from lignocellulosic residues and third‐generation biofuels from algal and aquatic biomass offer complementary ...
