“…Prior literature has reviewed findings from biomass thermochemical conversion TEAs (Brown, ) and TEA together with LCA (Patel, Zhang, & Kumar, ). However, in recent years, much additional research has emerged specifically on the conversion and upgrading of bio‐oils produced from fast pyrolysis of biomass (Bridgwater, ; de Miguel Mercader, ; Dutta et al, ; Elkasabi, Mullen, & Boateng, ; Fatih Demirbas, ; Fisk et al, ; Hangtao, Xiaoning, Qiang, & Changqing, ; Ko et al, ; Snowden‐Swan & Male, ; Stefanidis, Kalogiannis, Iliopoulou, Lappas, & Pilavachi, ; Tran, Uemura, Chowdhury, & Ramli, ). Therefore, this review focuses on understanding the key benefits, differences, and trade‐offs among select pyrolysis bio‐oil upgrading methods under investigation at laboratory and pilot scales, whose potential for scale‐up has been evaluated using LCA and TEA methods.…”
