What Role do Catalysts Play in Biomass-to-Liquid (BTL) Processes?
Biomass-to-liquid (BTL) processes convert biomass into synthetic fuels through thermochemical or biochemical pathways. Catalysts are vital in both pathways to improve efficiency and selectivity. For instance, in the thermochemical route, catalysts aid in the gasification of biomass to produce syngas, which is then converted to liquid fuels via the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis.
