Abstract:

The need to decarbonize the energy matrix has pushed different sectors to seek alternative energy generation methods. Among these, biofuels stand out. This study proposes to analyze the trend of coprocessing renewables (bio-oil) in refineries using a prioritization technique called Roadmap. This methodology allowed for the creation of short-term trend maps based on an analysis of approved patents. Additional short-term maps were developed from patent applications. Finally, a third long-term map considered information extracted from articles, patents, and patent applications available on various platforms (Scopus, Science Direct, among others) during the study period. The study spanned an 11-year timeframe. The Roadmap methodology involves temporal evaluation, which helps identify associations between different institutions (companies, universities, or research centers). A taxonomy derived from reading all the material was used for analysis, allowing for an assessment of the state-of-the-art in terms of the types or developments of catalysts employed and the types of processing. The results indicate that hydrotreating and hydrocracking are promising routes, despite higher costs, mainly due to the use of hydrogen and high operating pressures. However, these are effective short-term alternatives for refineries without a Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) structure. Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) demonstrates the highest maturity, flexibility, and development potential, making it economically viable for bio-oil coprocessing. FCC catalysts containing zeolites in their formulation, which are extensively tested and evaluated for coprocessing, represent the most promising options, even when facing unfavorable results caused by their deactivation. It was concluded that hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) technology as a pretreatment for bio-oil obtained from fast pyrolysis biomass conversion could be the solution to reduce coke generation and prevent the rapid deactivation of zeolite-based catalysts.
