Abstract:
Sugar in the gas tank?! Biomass is the only practical source of renewable liquid fuel (see picture). In research worldwide, new technologies are being developed for the generation of liquid fuels from renewable resources. One example is the reduction of polyols, such as sorbitol, which can be obtained fromcarbohydrates, into alkanes in an aqueous-phase reforming process.
