SynSel’s chosen synthetic biorefinery technology uses a thermocatalytic process to convert woody biomass feedstock into synthetic gasoline, diesel, and aviation fuel. The thermocatalytic conversion process consists of 5 key steps including:

  • Feedstock sizing & moisture control to specification

  • Hydropyrolysis

  • Hydroconversion

  • Distillation to remove trace aromatics

  • Product recovery to separate the synthetic biofuel into gasoline, diesel, and aviation fuel

The Conversion Process

The thermocatalytic conversion process produces close to zero life-cycle carbon dioxide emissions while also producing marketable by-products like: biogenic carbon dioxide, biochar, nitrogen-based fertilizer, and process heat.
