Formic acid is demonstrated as a hydrogen source in a solid reaction system by first stabilizing the acid as a calcium salt which then decomposes at temperatures of relevance in pyrolytic reactions. High yields of deoxygenated hydrocarbons are produced by thermal decomposition of formic and levulinic acid mixtures where the optimum feed stoichiometry is consistent with that of cellulose hydrolysis and dehydration. The method promises a high-yield, robust, low-pressure, non-catalytic route for converting biomass hydrolyzates to hydrocarbon mixtures which are similar to petroleum crude oils.
