Challenges in the production of sustainable fuels from pyrolysis oil - Design of efficient catalysts for gasification of char

▶ Ceria-zirconia allows gasification of char from pyrolysis oil with steam/CO2 at low temperatures. ▶ The proposed catalyst mechanism involved in the gasification of char is red-ox type. ▶ The ceria-zirconia catalyst makes char more reactive. ▶ Ceria-zirconia facilitates the contact between char and catalyst, essential for char gasification.
