UOP Renewables Vision

Building on UOP technology and expertise
Produce real drop-in fuels instead of fuel additives/blends
Leverage existing refining, transportation, energy, biomass handling
infrastructure to lower capital costs, minimize value chain disruptions,
and reduce investment risk.
Focus on path toward second generation feedstocks & chemicals
