Upgrading of Solar Bio-Oils through Catalytic Hydrodeoxygenation

Bio-oils are an attractive source of energy with many advantages over the
use of fossil fuels. However, bio-oils present corrosiveness, high viscosity and
low heating value associated with their high oxygen content. Therefore, before
its application as a transport fuel, it needs to be improved. In this sense,
catalytic hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) is one of the most promising biofuel
upgrading processes. However, conventional catalysts for HDO based on Co-
Mo and Ni-Mo (both sulfidated) or noble metals, still have certain
