Study Suggests Flexible Carbon to Liquid Fuel Process Could Displace 15-20% of Transportation Fuels in the US

Posted on October 15, 2008

A preliminary analysis of a feedstock-flexible biomass waste/residue thermochemical pathway for liquid fuel production by researchers at Purdue University suggests that such a flexible carbon to liquid fuel (FCTL) process could replace 15%-20% of transportation fuels consumed in US and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by more than 50% compared with petroleum-derived gasoline.At the same time, it could be more environmentally sustainable since few changes would be needed in agricultural and forestry practices, and may be more resilient against external disturbances such as feedstock supply...
