Co-processing of biogenic feedstocks within the existing petroleum infrastructure represents an opportunity to incorporate large volumes of bio-carbon into transportation fuels. However, upgrading intermediate liquids from biomass and waste to final products efficiently and economically, while minimizing impacts to existing refinery infrastructure, remains a notable barrier to commercialization.

The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) will host a two-day webinar series, Biocarbon Incorporation into Transportation Fuels via Co-processing in Refineries, to highlight the key takeaways from the Bio-oil Co-processing with Refinery Streams project. Through presentations and a question & answer session, the webinars will bring interested stakeholders together to discuss the following topics: 

The Bio-oil Co-processing with Refinery Streams project aimed to generate foundational knowledge for processing renewable intermediates in petroleum refineries and offer co-processing strategies, as well as develop new methods for biogenic carbon tracking and measurement.
