  • Chemical engineers boost petrochemical output from biomass by 40 percent

      01/01/1900
    Chemical engineers at the University of Massachusetts
    Amherst, using a catalytic fast pyrolysis process that transforms
    renewable non-food biomass into petrochemicals, have developed a new
    catalyst that boosts the yield for five key “building blocks
    of the chemical industry” by 40 percent compared to previous methods.

    competitive and compatible with
    the current petroleum refinery infrastructure, has been tested and
