Abstract

The main challenges in transportation sector at United States are the volatility of the global oil market, the prices of energy highly increasing and consistent pressure to reduce the emissions of the lifecycle greenhouse gas. Due to the concern on the “peak-oil” domestic for production of crude oil, the nations of OPEC are remains unrest (Wang et al. 2013; Nashawi et al. 2010), and efforts to develop liquid fuels which can be produced from domestic feedstocks based on carbon have been motivated in order to provide a significant means for increasing security of nation by enhanced the independence of energy. Therefore, it is expected that the demand for additional fuel using “non-petroleum” based feedstocks will be largely satisfied for the country. To process the alternative feedstocks, investigation on several technologies have been carried out. The main supply of the liquid fuels come from the biomass sources.
