Renewable fuels provider New Generation Biofuels (NGBF) in Columbia, Maryland said today it has filed a patent application for their new pyrolysis oil based biofuels. Pyrolysis oil is a synthetic fuel extracted through a technology that converts biomass to liquid under extreme heat in the absence of oxygen.
“We have been able to readily and successfully incorporate pyrolysis oil in our emulsions,” says Andrea Festuccia, Chief Technology Officer for NGBF. “Through our R&D efforts we have been able to take a challenging raw material and enhance its natural properties with our technology.”
Festuccia added, “Pyrolysis oil can be made from a wide range of biological and other energy containing products that would normally be waste materials. … Plant wastes, items normally heading to a landfill, and other waste streams that are often difficult to dispose of can now become energy sources for our biofuel formulations.”
