"Hydrogen-free conversion of renewable alcohols to jet-fuel grade hydrocarbons"
Renewablejet fuel is highly desirable for decoupling carbonization from growth in the aviation sector, and yet is currently vastly not cost-competitive with fossil-based jet fuel. Key to lowering costs and increasing supply are the development of hydrogen-free processes that use low-cost catalysts and mnimize number of steps.
