　　报告摘要：

　　We currently live in a fossil-based economy: we depend on oil for our energy, transport, materials and chemicals production. However, substantial steps into the transition toward a bio-based economy have been taken. Multiple drivers, some policy and geographically dependent, are steering an economy where new bioproducts are replacing their fossil counterparts and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are reduced. The petroleum-based industry and bio-based industry seem to be parallel. Can these two industries go hand in hand in the transition to post-petroleum era? Both of petroleum and biofuel have the original source – biomass. Here we introduce our recent results: integration of renewable materials with petroleum for either improving the quality of petroleum fuels or promoting the conversion of biomass to biohycarbons. An example is presented that glycerol is applied to refine FCC slurry oil and the paraffin contents of slurry oil was increased by about 35wt% and the multiple-ring aromatics is reduced by half. A second example presents thermolysis of lignin cellulosic materials in heavy petroleum oil. Biomass is directly converted to paraffin and light aromatics, which are chemically similar to petroleum oil.
