NOVELTY - Upgrading bio-oil into hydrocarbons and other fuel products utilizing synthesis gas or syngas, as a source of hydrogen from gasification of biomass or other sources to complete, or utilizing water gas shift reaction (WGS) to provide hydrogen for the upgrading process, and a catalyst composed of e.g. copper(II) oxide-zinc oxide, copper-(lanthanum) oxide, iron(III) oxide/chromic oxide, copper(II) oxide-zinc oxide-alumina, copper(II) oxide-zinc oxide-chromic oxide and/or other catalysts including catalyst contains e.g. nickel, chromium or molybdenum along with a support material, is claimed.    USE - The process is useful for upgrading bio-oil into hydrocarbons and other fuel products.    ADVANTAGE - The process: provides hydrocarbons and other fuel products with improved heating value, acidity, stability and compatibility with other fuels; utilizes carbon monoxide, which reacts with water present in the bio-oil and produces additional hydrogen and easily removed carbon dioxide, thus helps to lower bio-oil water content; utilizes syngas, which can be produced from the same renewable feedstock used to produce the bio-oil, where the syngas is a renewable source of hydrogen, and the hydrogen treatment stabilizes and improves fuel quality, and contains carbon monoxide; does not require hydrogen derived from fossil fuels; and utilizes dual catalyst combining WGS catalyst with hydroprocessing catalyst, which has potential to increase hydrogen production significantly above that possible with the use of each catalyst type alone, and the hydroprocessing step produces high percentage of water.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Upgrading bio-oil into hydrocarbons and other fuel products utilizing synthesis gas or syngas, as a source of hydrogen from gasification of biomass or other sources to complete, or utilizing water gas shift reaction (WGS) to provide hydrogen for the upgrading process, and a catalyst composed of copper(II) oxide-zinc oxide, copper-(lanthanum) oxide, iron(III) oxide/chromic oxide, copper(II) oxide-zinc oxide-alumina, copper(II) oxide-zinc oxide-chromic oxide, copper/cerium oxide, nickel-cerium oxide and/or other catalysts including catalyst contains at least one of nickel, chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, cobalt, rhodium, iridium, ruthenium, rhenium, platinum or palladium along with a support material, is claimed.
