- 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.
