The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to South Dakota State University (SDSU) to develop multifunctional catalysts to aid in the development of drop-in advanced biofuels from lignocellulosic biomass based on the SDSU proprietary accurate control catalytic fast pyrolysis (ACCFP) technologies.
Proposed project activities would include formulating, testing, and screening a series of multifunctional catalysts for efficiently converting wood sawdust and corn stover to advanced biofuels using the ACCFP reactor system developed by SDSU. The drop-in advanced biofuels produced would be characterized for determinations of their quality and conversion efficiencies. Characterizations of the catalysts used would be carried out to determine the optimal multifunctional catalyst combination. All these activities would occur in the Advanced Biofuel Development Laboratory located at SDSU in Brookings, SD.
