Our project aims to develop fossil fuel alternative production technology (biofuels such as Biodiesel, Bio-gasoline, Bio-methanol and Bio-LPG) using biomass and waste resources in catalytic conversion technology, and to propose their use in society.

According to aspects of The UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Project's goals, the direct synthesis of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) will lead to effective ways of developing recycled energy, environmental protection, and alternative energy by using a mixture of ordinary catalyst.

DME: dimethyl ether

CZZA: a copper/zinc oxide/zirconium/alumina
