-
The new process converts those carbohydrates into chemicals called levulinic acid esters - at the same time and in the same vessel that the oils are converted to fatty acid esters - resulting in a fuel cocktail that performs better at low temperatures than conventional biodiesel.

Segetis wants to use a thermochemical process to turn cellulosic biomass into a chemical called levulinic ketal, which can be transformed into a variety of chemicals.

However, in previously studied conversion methods, sugar molecules frequently degrade to form levulinic acid and formic acid - two products the previous methods couldn't readily transform into high-energy liquid fuels.
