The imbalance between the energy demand and supply and environmental pollution makes it necessary to develop renewable energy as an alternative energy source. Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of biomass is a promising method to produce a crude bio-oil (biocrude), and upgrading biocrude by catalytic h...
