Summary
• Upgrading of bio-oil with maximum yield and minimum oxygen is a challenging task >> It needs multi-stage solution.
• Studies with model compounds are valuable to identify different catalytic strategies
• Oxygen functionalities (-OH, -OCH3, C=O) can be used to enlarge C-C backbone chain
• Oxygen functionalities are highly deactivating of catalysts. Hydrogen usage is important.
• Liquid-phase processes (biphasic) offer promise for operating at milder conditions and minimize hydrogen consumption
