Thermochemical Processes

NREL is developing gasification and pyrolysis processes for the cost effective thermochemical conversion of biomass to biofuels and biofuel intermediaries.

In our Thermochemical User Facility, we work with partners to test and scale processes from bench to those that are industrially relevant.
