[Stoves] Pyrolysis oil into kerosene

[nari phaltan]

Thanks Crispin for the insight and details. In 1992 when pyrolysis oil R&D
was in infancy I was involved little bit in its propagation and research.
Since I left this field long ago I was interested in knowing whether
somebody has been able to produce kerosene directly from biomass via the
fast combustion process rather than going through pyrolysis oil route.

Any published work on this?

Warm regards. Anil
