Yes, proof of principle on upgrading pyrolysis oil for co-feeding in conventional oil refineries has been shown by the Biocoup consortium (www.biocoup.eu) on laboratory scale. BTG-BTL is involved with this consortium through its parent company BTG. It is expected to take another 5 to 10 years of research before commercial quantities of pyrolysis oil can be co-fed in conventional refineries.
