Selective, integrated processing of bio-derived ester species to yield low molecular weight hydrocarbons and hydrogen for the production of biofuels

摘要

The present invention relates to methods and systems for processing biomass to selectively yield a variety of hydrocarbon molecules and hydrogen as products, wherein some or all of these products can be further utilized for other biomass processing sub-processes, particularly wherein they lead to the generation of biofuels and/or other high-value products.
