Department of Petroleum Technology and Alternative Fuels 15 CONCLUSION

• Raw bio-oil is a complex mixture with unacceptable properties that should be upgraded to fulfil limits for transport fuels • Hydrotreatment is a suitable technology for bio-oil upgrading in the fixed-bed reactor for producing low- cost petroleum-refinery-compatible feedstock • Hydrotreatment thermoprofile play significant role in the upgrading process: „Smooth“ mode is preferred due to: • stable products properties • convenient unit operation • Upgrading of bio-oil condensed at 2-5 °C gave more valuable products with similar properties at all TOS

Future plans: test two thermoprofiles for the hydrtotreatment of miscanthus bio-oil (2-5 and 75 °C) and beech- wood bio-oil
