Two-step method for production of multiple biofuels and products from Non-Lignocellosic Biomass
Project ID: D2015-31Background Biomass of non-lignocellulosic origin is typically composed of one or more of three components – protein, starch and oils (such as triacylglycerides or other lipids). One of the concerns with thermochemical processing of protein-containing biomass is contamination of bio-oil with nitrogen-containing compounds (such...
