Zusammenfassung:	A bio-oil reactor leverages chemically recalcitrant lignocellulosic biomass using a moderate temperature molten-salt based process to unlock hydrocarbon content having the potential to substantially supplement demand for petroleum based fuels and chemicals. Bio-oil is a precursor to production of other chemicals and hydrocarbons, and can be refined as an effective replacement to conventional petroleum products and fossil fuels. A disclosed approach employs Molten-Salt Pyrolysis (MSP), for the efficient and economical production of such precursor chemicals directly from whole biomass under moderate conditions (˜400° C., 1 atm.). Lignocellulosic biomass, freely available in renewable wood and plant products, undergoes a moderate temperature heating process in a eutectic molten salt mixture to generate a condensable vapor of the precursor or platform chemicals.
