Hydrothermal liquefaction: The most promising path to sustainable bio-oil production

A new generation of the HTL process can convert all kinds of biomasses to crude bio-oil, which is sufficiently similar to fossil crude oil that a simple thermal upgrade and existing refinery technology can be employed to subsequently obtain all the liquid fuels we know today. What is more, the HTL process only consumes approximately 10-15 percent of the energy in the feedstock biomass, yielding an energy efficiency of 85-90 percent.![](http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/earth_climate/recycling_and_waste/~4/Xz7W6B1TlkU)
