Chemical Upgrading

Catalytic or chemical processes that modify existing organic molecules into fuel-compatible products without fully breaking them down into syngas. Use when the pathway upgrades oils, fats, bio-oils, or intermediates through reactions like hydrogenation, hydrotreating, transesterification/esterification, or similar refining steps.
