Conversion of pine sawdust bio-oil (raw and thermally processed) over equilibrium FCC catalysts

► Bio-oil and liquid product from thermal conditioning were converted over FCC catalyst. ► The conditioned liquid produced more hydrocarbons and less coke than the bio-oil. ► A model bio-oil yielded less hydrocarbons and more coke than the biomass feedstocks. ► The products from thermal cracking were also assessed.
