Bio-oil upgrading
Bio-oil upgrading is the set of physical, chemical, and catalytic treatments that convert crude bio-oil from fast pyrolysis of biomass into a drop-in fuel, mainly by hydrodeoxygenation and catalytic cracking.
Biodiesel
Biodiesel is a renewable, biodegradable liquid fuel made from vegetable oils, animal fats, or recycled grease and used in diesel engines, usually blended with petroleum diesel.
Biodiesel dry washing
Biodiesel dry washing is a water-free purification step in which adsorbents or ion exchange resins remove soaps, glycerol, and other impurities from crude biodiesel, replacing traditional water washing.
Biofuel
A biofuel, also called biomass fuel, is a fuel made from recently living biomass such as crops, crop residues, used cooking oil, and algae rather than fossil deposits.
Biogas desulfurization
Biogas desulfurization is the removal of hydrogen sulfide from biogas produced by anaerobic digestion, using in-situ dosing, biological filters, or chemical scrubbing to protect engines.
Biogas upgrading
Biogas upgrading is the engineering process of removing carbon dioxide, water vapor, and impurities from raw biogas to produce biomethane, typically requiring at least 95% methane for grid injection.
Biohydrogen
Biohydrogen is hydrogen gas produced by living organisms or their enzymes rather than by industrial chemical processes, using pathways like biophotolysis, fermentation, and microbial electrolysis that can run on waste biomass.
Biological methanation
Biological methanation, or biomethanation, is the microbial conversion of carbon dioxide and hydrogen into methane by methanogenic archaea, used to store surplus renewable electricity and upgrade biogas.
Biomass energy
Biomass energy: energy from renewable plant and animal organic matter, burned directly or converted to biofuels and biogas. Once the world's main fuel; now about 5% of U.S. primary energy, with contested carbon neutrality.
Biomass gasification
Biomass gasification is a thermochemical process that heats biomass with limited oxygen to make syngas, a mix of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, for heat, power, or fuels.
Biomass to liquid
Biomass to liquid (BtL) is a multi-step process that gasifies non-food biomass like wood residues and straw into syngas, then synthesizes drop-in fuels such as diesel and kerosene via Fischer-Tropsch.
