| Abstract |
Concerns about depleting fossil fuels and global warming effects are\n pushing our society to search for new renewable sources of energy with\n the potential to substitute coal, natural gas, and petroleum. In this\n sense, biomass, the only renewable source of carbon available on Earth,\n is the perfect replacement for petroleum in producing renewable fuels.\n The aviation sector is responsible for a significant fraction of\n greenhouse gas emissions, and two billion barrels of petroleum are being\n consumed annually to produce the jet fuels required to transport people\n and goods around the world. Governments are pushing directives to\n replace fossil fuel-derived jet fuels with those derived from biomass.\n The present mini review is aimed to summarize the main technologies\n available today for converting biomass into liquid hydrocarbon fuels\n with a molecular weight and structure suitable for being used as\n aviation fuels. Particular emphasis will be placed on those routes\n involving heterogeneous catalysts. |
