Sustainable Alternatives for the Production of Conventional Energy Carriers and Chemicals

Our society is facing important challenges in preserving the current welfare in a sustainable manner. The dependence on non-renewable, fossil sources is huge. Fischer Tropsch synthesis represents an alternative production method which can start from biomass. Fischer Tropsch products, however, do not represent the severe quality requirements and need further upgrading.
