Hydrodeoxygenation catalysts

Applications: Catalysts, Bio-oils, Biomass, Biofuels

Oxford scientists have developed novel multifunctional catalysts and processes for hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) & direct deoxygenation (DDO) reactions.

Features	Benefits
Novel catalysts	High hydrogenation and deoxygenation activity within the same catalyst Overcomes very weak deoxygenation associated with standard catalysts
Novel processes	Increased catalytic activity and/or increased selectivity in presence of nitrogen gaseous mixture for aromatic reaction products
Tailored reactions	Ability to greatly inhibit transalkylation reactions that give rise to coke accumulation
Significant improvement over existing/alternative catalysts and processes	Overcomes NiMo and CoMo sulfite issues; sulphur contamination / coke accumulation Lower temperature and pressure requirements for reaction means lower cost
Promotes circular economy	Carbon net zero
