The oil, called biocrude, can be used in the > furnaces of coal-fired power plants. The plant can also produce automotive > fuels from kitchen and garden waste (sometimes known as VGF) > http://www.ibpma.be/Frankfurt/Favoino/paper.htm. > > Shell Laboratories in Amsterdam developed the hydro thermal upgrading > process in the early 1980's. Under pressures of 120-200 bar and in > temperatures of 300-350 C, biomass molecules change into a liquid and a gas > within 15 minutes. The liquid forms the basis for the biocrude and a > chemical process then changes this into automotive fuel.
