Glossary

Advanced biofuel:

Liquid fuel obtained from nonfood raw materials (such as agriculture and forestry residues, industrial wastes, energy crops, or microorganisms) by different biochemical and/or thermochemical processes.

Biomass:

From a technical point of view, biomass is defined as material of biological origin (animal or vegetal) excluding material embedded in geological formations and/or transformed to fossil.

Bio-oil:

Fraction of pyrolysis vapors that remains liquid at room temperature and composed by hundreds of organic molecules, usually distributed in two phases (water-rich and organic-rich phases).

Catalyst:

A substance that enables a chemical reaction to proceed at a usually faster rate or under different conditions (as at a lower temperature) than otherwise possible.

Hydrodeoxygenation (HDO):

Chemical reaction catalytically conducted for removing oxygen in water form from oxygen containing molecules working at high hydrogen pressures and mild temperatures.
