Alternative paths to alcohols and hydrocarbons from biomass

Abstract:

A method of producing alcohols, hydrocarbons, or both from biomass by converting biomass into a carboxylic acid, react ing the carboxylic acid With an ole? n to produce an ester and hydrogenolyzing the ester to produce alcohol. A method of producing hydrocarbons from biomass by converting at least a portion of the biomass into a carboxylic acid, a ketone, or an ammonium carboxylate salt, reacting at least one of a portion of the carboxylic acid, a portion of the ketone, or a portion of the ammonium carboxylate salt in an oligomeriZation reactor as at least part of a process that produces an oligomeriZation product and separating hydrocarbons from the oligomeriZa tion product.
