dc.description.abstract	bio-energy is renewable and clean (with trace amount of sulfur and neutral in terms of co2 emission), and abundant in resource, thus it could be a securable and sustainable energy for future. due to the declining reserve of light crude oil, there is increased interest in producing bio-fuels (bio-ethanol, bio-diesel and bio-oils) from biomass resources. bio-crude, produced from lignocellulosic biomass/wastes by high-pressure direct liquefaction, has been found more advantageous than conventional bio-oil generated by pyrolysis since a bio-crude normally contains a greater heating value than pyrolysis oil. bio-crude has a potential to be upgraded into high quality fuel oils or transportation fuels by hydro-treatment.
