Biorefinery ethanol upgrading: Opportunities and challenges

The production of drop-in replacements for biofuels is a grand challenge. Lignocellulosic biomass is considered a promising feedstock for producing fuel ethanol because of its great availability. Restrepo-Florez et al. systematically study the upgrading of ethanol toward advanced fuels with tailored properties and with consideration of process synthesis.
